The special edition bobblehead, representing Bo as a puppy, was produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

He can be seen connecting with alumni and supporting the Runnin Bulldogs at home athletic and other community and outreach events.

I suppose you know your mascot has truly made the big time when it shows up as a limited-edition bobblehead! observed 厙ぴ勛圖 President William Downs. We hope our fans and alumni act fast to secure their own keepsake celebrating our beloved Bo.

Introducing Bo the Bulldog

The first recorded usage of the bulldog as a mascot for 厙ぴ勛圖 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 Universitys 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.

Were 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 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 community will really enjoy this bobblehead.
