Introducing Bo the Bulldog

The first recorded usage of the bulldog as a mascot for 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb was in 1922. Throughout the years, the bulldog has been represented in numerous forms. Live bulldogs, costumed mascots and athletic branded logos have all been featured in some fashion for GWU.

Bo is the University���s seventh live mascot, dating back to Butch I, who served from 1944 to 1953. Butch II and Chins followed before there were no live mascots for over four decades. The live mascot program returned with Barney from 2010 to 2014 before he was replaced by Roebuck. ���Bucky��� was designated with Mascot Emeritus status.

���We���re excited to create this bobblehead of Bo, the busiest bulldog in North Carolina,��� National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. ���厙ぴ勛圖-Webb is in good paws with Bo representing the university and we think alumni, students, faculty, staff, and other members of the 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb community will really enjoy this bobblehead.���
