Located in the North Carolina foothills, Gardner-Webb University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university that ignites learning & service opportunities.
The Runnin’ Bulldogs are going dancing! For the first time in school history, and since moving to Division-I (2000-’01), @gwu_mbk has earned a spot in the @marchmadness tournament! #UnleashTheDawgs

Prior to the game, @CoachTimCraft shared one message with @GWU_MBK—"This is the most exciting game in my twenty years of coaching, but it’s not the most important day. There is 13 actually of them—it was the day each of you said “yes” to being on this team." #MarchMadness

Our hearts go out to @UNCC. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy & offer our prayers & support for the students, faculty, staff & families of the victims. As a community of Higher Ed, we all feel an overwhelming sense of grief for you during this time. GWU stands with you.
Hundreds of members of the GWU community came together this afternoon outside of Webb Hall to display a renewed commitment to diversity and inclusion. Wearing masks, they marched peacefully, raised awareness, and created conversation around inequality. #TogtherAsOne

Today, we pause to celebrate and remember Jalin Terrell Lawson, who was a junior at the time of his tragic accident. Today, he would have been walking with the class of 2019 and receiving his diploma. ❤️ Jalin, your memory and spirit is with us today and forevermore. #GWUgrad19

The 🔥in every Running Bulldog's ❤️is 💯. The arrival of @GWU_MBK on campus concludes this great run. While this year's journey in the @marchmadness came to an end, this is just the beginning of great things to come. #UnleashTheDawgs

Why did you say "YES" to GWU?
Was it—
• to receive a world-class education?
• to network w/ alumni?
• to make lifelong friendships?
• to grow in your faith?
• to play DI athletics?
• to serve the community & across the globe?
.... or was these reasons & more?
Our community—AMAZING! The ENTIRE student body and staff at Boiling Springs Elementary School created this photo to celebrate @GWU_MBK competing in the @marchmadness tournament. ➡️gwebb.net/6nQ750nP3oa

There comes a time when spring will ask what you did in the fall.
@GWUBaseball: They will be ready. They are laying down new turf and preparing the next generation of Diamond Dawgs.
