Light the W 

Jen Wright, Marketing & Communication

For 45 years, Weber State has been lighting an electric W on a slope of Mt. Ogden during Homecoming week, igniting Wildcat spirit and community pride.

It has never been a permanent fixture. Now, WSU plans to change that.

A permanent Flaming W on the mountain is in the works. It will be the first hillside letter built with solar panels — reflecting the university’s commitment to sustainability. The W will be lit with purple and white bulbs to celebrate special WSU occasions.

While a lot of the funding is already in place to build and maintain this landmark, Weber State is working to raise the final $500,000 to light the W for Homecoming 2024.
