OBITUARIES I N RE M E M B RA N C E I N RE M E M B RA N C E Gardner-Webb Introduces New Live Mascot, Bo The Bulldog Gardner-Webb University's new live mas- cot has a name. Bo was selected from more than 200 entries submitted for consideration. The new pup is engaged in basic etiquette training, before he offi cially begins his duties on Aug. 26. In the days ahead, GWU's four- legged best friend will be a familiar sight to all on campus and in the community. "The start of a new academic year brings with it a sense of new energy and renew- al, and nothing captures that spirit at Gard- ner-Webb better than the introduction of a new mascot," explained GWU President Dr. William Downs. "Bo the Bulldog is a cute, lov- able little puppy right now, but we know he'll soon grow into a wonderful representation of the fun and fi erceness that comes with GWU Athletics." Downs added, "Historically, 'Bo' derives as a nickname meaning 'to live' or 'living'—making it a perfect match for the infusion of life we're bringing to this new era of Bulldog sports. 'Bo' is also solidly connected to football greatness (think Bo Jackson), to upbeat, lively music (think Bo Diddley), to a former First Dog of the United States (in the White House from 2009- 2017), and to some of our favorite tailgating food (well, you know the restaurant). Fans of all ages will want to 'Say Hello to Bo.' We can't wait to introduce him!" Chuck Burch, vice president for Athletics, also expressed his enthusiasm for the new canine ambassador. "The introduction of a live mascot in 2015 was well received by our alumni base, and continuing that tradition with a precocious new bulldog is a tremendous way to show our school spirit," he remarked. "As our students return to campus, I am sure they will all welcome our new puppy with open arms." One person on campus who is eager to meet Bo is Karen Davis, administrative as- sistant to the dean and copy cataloger in the GWU Library. After studying his picture and doing a little research, she submitted the name for consideration. "I thought the puppy looked like a Bo," she said. "I looked up the characteristics of the name, and a couple of the adjectives are powerful and tough." Jada Newton, '21, student body president, is also very excited to meet Bo The Bulldog. "I think he represents the atmosphere com- ing into this new semester and year—a fresh start and a new perspective," she observed. "Coming out of a crazy year, we are returning to the same Gardner-Webb campus but have a new youthful and optimistic perspective ap- proaching our future with each other and at the University." Bo is an English Bulldog from a breeder in Garner, N.C. The University plans to involve him in full-time activities with the enrollment team, alumni group, athletics teams and com- munity groups as well. He will be a full-time ambassador for the Runnin' Bulldogs. "When we fi rst met our good boy in July, we knew right away he was something spe- cial," observed Kim Kreuzman, GWU social media manager. "He was sweet, but also rambunctious—the perfect mix needed for his future role. To say we were excited to bring him home later that month would be an un- derstatement. For students and the commu- nity, we know many of them were sad to hear that Roebuck would be retiring, but the joy of watching our puppy grow to become our much-loved mascot is exciting. He's got some big paws to fi ll, and he is already working on bulldog basics—sit, stay, and high-fi ve!" A university staff member (and family) will serve as Bo's caretakers and others across the campus community will be designated to provide daily attention, support and training for him. Hope Animal Hospital in Shelby, N.C., will provide veterinary services. Dr. Deanna Moseley Lawrence, a 1999 graduate of N.C. State University College of Veterinary Med- icine in Raleigh, N.C., established Hope in June 2009 as a full-service small animal hos- pital that provides medical and surgical care. "We are excited to be Bo's veterinarian and look forward to many years of getting loads of kisses from this sweet boy," Lawrence af- fi rmed. Previous live mascot, Roebuck "Bucky," re- tires on Aug. 24, after serving the University for six years. He quickly became a campus favorite with students, the community and ath- letics. Now at 7 years old, Roebuck has been designated with Mascot Emeritus status. Submitted by Jackie Bridges English Bulldog Puppy "Bo" Offi cially Begins His Duties on Aug. 26.
