 Guidelines for Wildcat Willie Appearances

Thank you for requesting NVC's mascot presence at your upcoming event!  Please take a few minutes to review the following form before completing it to ensure you have all the information needed.  The NVC Student Life Office generally has multiple NVC students who have been trained and serve as our Mascot.  GO WILDCATS!

 

Request must be submitted a minimum of three (3) weeks in advance of the actual requested appearance date.

 Wildcat Willie can only make appearances at Alamo College student sponsored events and generally requires a stipend payment for services through non Student Life Office requests.  IF you are able to find someone to be the mascot and have an escort, fee will be waived.

Request for Wildcat Willie do not guarantee appearance. Confirmation will be provided once request is reviewed and availability is determined.

  • Payment for appearance average $15 t0 $25 per hour.  This is based off day/time being requested, location, transportation/arrival time, dress up/performance time, removal/securing items and type of request being asked (i.e. Dance off, high volume of movement etc.). Please ensure that you have your department FOAP that will be used for payment AFTER services.  This will be awarded as a stipend through the requesting department administrator.
  • The requester must provide a private changing location for Willie, preferably, a large storage area, a closed office, or a closed room.
  • The requester must provide a secure, and safe place to store any personal belongings and mascot storage bags.
  • Willie will arrive 30 minutes prior to an event to change into costume. Please add this time to your event start time.
  • Willie’s outdoor appearances require him to take a 10-minute break every 30 minutes during the event.
  • Requesting department are required to provide water and an escort for Willie during the entire start to end time.
  • Off-campus events: The requester must provide a parking spot close to the event site for Willie to park. If there is any charge for parking (meter, parking garage, etc), the requester is to pay for this in advance and/or provide a parking permit (if applicable to the event site).
  • We ask that cancellations be made within a 24-hour of the event. Please send your notice to http://nvc-activities@alamo.edu.

Confirmation

If Willie is able to appear at your event, the requester will receive an email confirmation from Student Life within five (5) days of the submission date (or earlier if possible). At that time, we will confirm the date/time/location of your event and also give you the name and contact information for the student intern who will perform at the event. Once your request is approved we will be asking for name and contact of Willie's escort.

If Willie is not able to make an appearance at your event, the requester will be notified via email in the same time frame. We do our best to fill all requests, but please keep in mind that our Willie may have a busy schedule and limited availability. He needs time to study!
