Yappy Hour

What is Yappy Hour?

Image shows a circular navy blue and white button with a dog in the center hiding behind a "Yappy Hour" Sign with the Logo for WVU Division of DEI. The text within the circle states "Let's Go Pet Some Dogs."

Yappy Hour is a great time for all of the WVU Community to all come out and pet our adorable campus pups, but Yappy Hour is also an important aspect of a healthy mental mindset. 

Yappy Hour gives all of us (including the dogs) some time to smile and take a much needed break!

For some of us Yappy Hour reminds of us home, for others it is a time to connect with fellow dog lovers and for most it is a time to meet people you haven't gotten the chance to know yet. 

Yappy Hour happens once a month (and sometimes more)! Make sure to check our social media pages for updates on the schedule.

The idea for Yappy Hour came from graduate assistants in the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
