Yesterday was a day full of change for Western Oregon University.  In a well attended unveiling ceremony including the musical talents of Westerns Pep Band, performances by both the Cheer Squad and the Dance Team, our new marks were shown off for all to see.  For the first time WOU has both an athletic logo, and an academic mark.  Shortly after the ceremony the book store opened its doors and started selling brand new merchandise featuring the new logos.

It is exciting to see positive change on our campus, and these new marks are only the beginning.  Fall will mark the completion of the Werner University Center re-model, creating new space for students to use and enjoy.  Student enrollment continues to climb, which means more change for our campus.  We at ASWOU cannot wait to see where all this change will take us!

   Today is the day many people have been wondering and speculating about for weeks. What exactly is 5-3-2011?  Good news! The mystery will be solved today, at 1pm in the WUC Plaza.  Make sure you come out to see what exactly all this excitement and mystery has been about!

   Throughout the past few weeks there have been numerous rumors flying, here is a list of some of the more outrageous ones!

1. "On May 3rd, WOU will change its name from Western Oregon University to the University of  Western Oregon" 
2. "On May 3rd, WOU will change its mascot from a Husky to a Wolf" (The mascot is already a Wolf, just to remind you all)
3. "On May 3rd, Western Oregon University will close its doors."
4. "Starting May 3rd, WOU will no longer have an Education Program"
5. "On May 3rd Western will switch to a non-traditional grading policy"

This is a small list, but these were some of the funnier rumors. Feel free to add any you heard!

We hope to see you all at the event at 1 pm today!
