Involvement is Out of this World!
The Dawg Bones Program is returning this year with the theme of Outer Space: Because our students "reach for the stars" when they engage with campus life. Dawg Bones has adapted to some of the wonderful suggestions shared by those running and participating in the program and has looked for ways to make it more accessible to students.
What are Dawg Bones?
We know student life between classes contributes to an eventful and fulfilling time at the University. But students are busy, and it can be hard to justify pulling away from a hectic study schedule. Dawg Bones is a prize 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!
How can you earn Dawg Bones?
- Attend events
- Attend meetings

You can find out more about Dawg Bones and opportunities for earning them on DubNet, and the @dawgbonesuwt Instagram.

The Dawg Bones Shop
The Dawg Bones Shop opens beginning in Week 5 of each quarter and remains open through finals week. Every Dawg Bone that students collect will earn them the prizes of their choice, while supplies last!
Dawg Bones can only be spent during the periods when the Dawg Bones Shop is open.
How can I purchase prizes?
On DubNet
During the operational hours of the Dawg Bones Shop, visit the Center for Student Involvement's DubNet page. You will find the Dawg Bones Order Form under the "Surveys" tab. Submit your order and wait for an email from uwtsi@uw.edu notifying you when your order is ready for pickup. (Don't forget to check your points! You'll find your total on your profile page, accessible from the righthand corner of the webpage.)

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.

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.
