BW Bark Walk
Have a Tail-Wagging Good Time at BW's Bark Walk!
We're excited to welcome you back for a tail-wagging good time at our fifth annual BW Bark Walk to see campus while you and your four-legged friend walk along designated routes.
Whether your pup is a proud BW fan or just loves a good stroll, this is the perfect chance to revisit campus, reconnect with fellow grads, enjoy some paw-some snacks and the great outdoors.
Don't have a dog? Come anyway! This is a family-friendly walk open to BW alumni, family and friends. After the walk, all dogs in attendance will be recognized during a ceremony and will receive their very own doggie diploma as we officially welcome them as a #YJ4L.
Check-in opens at 9 a.m.
Walk begins promptly at 9:45 a.m.
$10 per person (children 12 and under and dogs are complimentary)
