Thank you for your interest in requesting an appearance by Rowdy or the WSU spirit squads (cheer and dance teams). Due to the time demands on students, we may not be able to fulfill every request. All requests are subject to the approval of the Athletic Department. Events requested less than 1 week prior will incur a $25 late fee. We encourage you to make your requests as soon as possible, requests will be responded to on a first come, first served basis. You will receive notification once we have received your request form and we check our availability. All Wright State events will take precedence over outside events. Pricing is based on a per hour appearance. Events will require a two hour minimum charge.
REQUESTER REQUIREMENTS
- Requester must provide a private location for the mascot to change and provide a secure, safe place to store any personal belongings and mascot storage bags (not a public bathroom, closet, public space, etc.). If the request exceeds an hour, there must be a secure and private space for the mascot to take breaks.
- Requester must provide drinking water for the mascot during appearances.
- Requester must provide a parking spot close to the event site for the mascot to park if the event is off campus. If there is any charge for parking (meter, parking garage, etc.), the Requester is to pay for this in advance and/or provide a parking permit (if applicable to the event site).
ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Wright State University reserves the right to refuse any appearance.
- Because of time demands on our students and their availability, Wright State University Athletics cannot guarantee that each requested appearance will be filled. Priority is given to mandatory Athletic-related responsibilities.
- Due to academic and time restrictions, appearance requests that fall during the scheduled academic calendar year (and during holiday or summer breaks) will be made on a limited basis.
- Wright State mascots will not make appearances in bars or political events.
