The Mountaineer Roundup

Discover how this event celebrates the agricultural heart of our community, fosters connections, and continues to be a testament to the spirited life at EOU.

And because no roundup would be complete without a little humor, we're sprinkling in a selection of bad dad jokes that are so groan-worthy, they're good. From puns that will have you rolling your eyes to quips that catch you off guard, get ready to laugh (or sigh) as we explore the lighter side of campus life.
