‘Hoonie’ Adopts Schreiner
Sometime around the Christmas-New Year break, Hoonie the Ameraucana rooster arrived on campus. Staff in Hoon Hall and the
Elaine B. Griffin Welcome Center saw him outside their windows, and gave him his name. Despite predators and cold, wet weather—and occasional student attempts to catch him—Hoonie survived the spring term. His colorful presence and spirited morning crowing around the Quad seemed to please most on campus, although a few felt otherwise. For Recall, the Bookstore ordered Hoonie-inspired t-shirts created by Marketing Division graphic designer Jake Hawk Roa. The shirts, which feature the text, “Why did the rooster come to campus? Free-Range Education,” were a big hit. More than 100 sold and a second order is planned before the fall semester. Students and staff were asked in May to suggest how to spend part of the money raised through the Big Give SA crowdfunding effort. A coop with hens for Hoonie was one of the more popular ideas. What’s in his future? Stay tuned. In the meantime, Hoonie is here for the summer, welcoming incoming freshman as they arrive for Mountaineer Days orientation.
