Meet Godwin! Godwin is a third-year English, Critical Studies major and Journalism minor at the university.

You can find him working at various spots in Eau Claire, including the Pablo Center and Eau Claire Vintage. His passion for fashion is never unnoticed. You can also see Godwin in the music scene, as he has been writing, producing, and performing for years, starting his band “The Doghouse” here in Eau Claire. Which gone on to be voted 3rd in the “Best New Artist/Band” in the Chippewa Valley by Volume One. He also makes music on his own under the name “Yomchi”. That doesn’t end his activity in the arts, as he is active in the theater community at the university, performing in multiple shows at UWEC.
