Current Phase
Project is currently in the research phase with planning for initial survey to be sent to internal stakeholders, faculty, staff, and students in January of 2022
What is the Project?
College of Western Idaho (CWI) has adopted the Otter as the official mascot. As the new CWI brand has been rolled out, it is now time to develop the mascot identity. Development of the identity is inclusive of design and naming of the new CWI Otter Mascot. This process will provide several oppurtunities for CWI faculty, staff, students, and the greater community to provide input as well as feedback on concepts. This process will consist of a number of phases which we will keep you updated on periodically. Unveiling of the new mascot is currently scheduled for Fall 2022.
