Wolfie Finds His Howl
After years of wondering how Wolfie first fell in love with UWG, we finally have our answer, thanks to a book written specifically for some of our youngest Wolves: “Wolfie Finds His Howl.”
This book – written, illustrated, produced, and brought to you by a team of our talented staff members – shows what happened when young Wolfie visited our university on a school field trip. Through his adventures – and a couple of friendly students he meets along the way – he finds out what it really means to be a Wolf.
This tale of bravery – with a few features of campus that our students and alumni will recognize – officially launched online, at the UWG Outfitters, and at special events in October 2021.
With your purchase, you will support UWG and our students both now and in the future! All proceeds of “Wolfie Finds His Howl” and its extended product line will go directly into the UWG scholarship fund so that generations of Wolves – maybe even the young readers who enjoy this book – will benefit from the educational experience that UWG provides.
We hope you enjoy this story of Wolfie’s growth from a timid, young pup to the enthusiastic, charismatic UWG mascot he is today. We can’t wait for you to read it!
Production Note
From conception to distribution, “Wolfie Finds His Howl” was designed to inspire pride in the University of West Georgia’s students, faculty, staff, community partners, and more than 73,000 alumni – all of whom know exactly what it means to be a Wolf.
This book is entirely a product of the university, completed internally to maximize proceeds and elevate the talents of the university’s staff, who captured the essence of UWG through the eyes of a child and, in turn, strengthened the sense of belonging and connectedness throughout the university community.
