Yes, it's back! When you make a gift of $20.26 or more on February 19 between 6 AM and 12 PM EST, you can name a squirrel on OWU's campus! The first fifty to name a squirrel during that time will also receive a limited-edition squirrel sticker!

What should I name my squirrel? You can name one of these charming, bushy-tailed creatures after yourself, your friends, your family, a former classmate, or a favorite professor. Name it something punny, or make it a heartfelt tribute. If you named a squirrel last year, perhaps give it a friend! The possibilities are almost endless.

Is this name legally binding? Please note: While the impact of your gift is real, this naming opportunity is only symbolic. With your $20.26+ gift, we hereby vest in you the power to point at any squirrel that issues forth from any tree across campus and call it by whatever name you choose. 

Can I share my squirrel’s name on social media? Yes! We can’t wait to see all the creative names, and it’s a fantastic way to encourage your fellow Bishops to give during We Are OWU!

Why... squirrels? We prefer to say "nutty" and "branching out during our We Are OWU fun." We’ll never run out of these rascally rodents to name, and we believe that giving back to OWU should be as fun and unique as our University.
