Since being unveiled at the 2024 State of the College Address, enthusiasm for the new College of Western Idaho (CWI) mascot, River the Otter, has been widespread. As part of the announcement, the College held a giveaway for the CWI community, with prizes ranging from baseball hats to backpacks and sweatshirts to puffer coats. The grand prize was a custom cooler featuring high-tech insulation as effective as… an otter.
Many participated and below are some statistics that demonstrate a clear result — the CWI community is very excited about our new mascot!
