Purchasing gifts from Student-Made Arizona this holiday season doesn’t just spread joy – it directly supports the campus community. Thanks to Student-Made, Wildcats can explore their passions, grow their small businesses, and share their creativity with others.

Hosted by the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship, Student-Made Arizona is open to students of all majors. While many creators draw inspiration from their academic paths, you don’t have to be a business student to join – just someone with an idea and the drive to bring it to life.
