About 300 people gathered on the Atwood Mall on April 26 to attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the most people howling.
The Husky Howl, put on by the Department of Campus Involvement to help foster Husky spirit among students on campus, was the first attempt anywhere to set a record for the most people howling. Guinness World Records required 250 participants howling for one full minute to be considered for the record. The university had 296 participants.
