Keep Diggin' for Involvement

The Dawg Bones Program is returning with more exciting prizes and ways to get involved at UW Tacoma!  

What are Dawg Bones?

At UW Tacoma, we want to see our Huskies involved, because we know how much it benefits your time at the University and beyond. Dawg Bones is an incentive program that provides you with an extra reason to attend as many programs, meetings, and involvement opportunities as possible. With every Dawg Bone you earn, you can win exciting and exclusive prizes!

Prizes for Dawg Bones

Dawg Bones Shop

This year, in order to provide students with more choices, the Dawg Bones Program will open the Dawg Bones Shop once every quarter (in Week 5) so that students can use the Dawg Bones they've earned to purchase whatever items they'd like.  Every Dawg Bone that students collect will earn them prizes that they get to select!

When can I spend my Dawg Bones?

Dawg Bones can only be spent during the periods when the Dawg Bones Shop is open.

How can I purchase prizes?

  • Online 
    • As long as the Dawg Bones Shop is open, students can submit orders online at any time.  They will be reviewed by CSI staff members for verification, prizes will be gathered, and students will be emailed when their package of prizes is available for pick-up in the CSI
  • At the Center for Student Involvement- The CSI Staff members can help students complete the Dawg Bones Prize Order Form at the front desk
    • Students can check in at the CSI in the University YMCA Student Center during open hours to make Dawg Bones Prize orders (and receive their items right away!)
  • At a Dawg Bones Shop Pop-Up- During the operational hours of the Dawg Bones Shop, you may walk by a pop-up shop somewhere on the UW Tacoma campus.  You'll be able to check your Dawg Bones Total, submit an order form, and receive your prizes!

What kind of Prizes will be available?

Most prizes earned from Dawg Bones can only be acquired by exchanging Dawg Bones at the Dawg Bones Shop.  some items are more exclusive than others and due to quantity, you may only be able to acquire giveaway entries for certain items.  Most of the items, you will just exchange the necessary amount of Dawg Bones for the items in question.  For anything designated as a "Giveaway," students will exchange Dawg Bones for entries to see if they are able to win the item in the Giveaway Announcements that will take place.

What happens to my Dawg Bones if I don't spend them?

Students will keep their Dawg Bones for the full academic year.  If you are trying to save up for something really exclusive, you can save Dawg Bones between the quarters.  However, some quantities are limited in the Dawg Bones Shop and once an item is sold out, it's gone!  Be strategic about how long you hold onto your Dawg Bones.

Dawg Bones will reset at the end of Spring Quarter 2025.
