About

Our favorite feathered friend needs your help! It's been 20 years since Ernie has had a vacation and a new outfit or two and we want YOUR help to make it happen!

Ernie has asked the Bridgewater College Alumni Association Board to help him spread the word. He needs new shoes, some updated clothing and more than anything his feathers need a little fluffing!

Help us with Ernie's transformation! We can't wait for you to see his big reveal at Homecoming 2026.
