Athletic Songs
According to a March 2008 edition of the Voyager, UWF will have a fight song once SGA decides through voting.
Mascot
UWF's official mascot is the
Argonaut, a mythical group of Greek sailors, who accompanied Jason to Colchis in his quest for the Golden Fleece. However, the official logo of the institution is the Chambered Nautilus; because of this, students jokingly refer to themselves as the UWF "Fighting Seashells."

Possibility of a Football Program, Moving to NCAA Division I
According to local papers, UWF has recently created an "Athletics Visioning Team" for 2009. The purpose of this team is to find out whether or not the time is now appropriate for UWF to move its athletic programs up to NCAA Division I, and/or possibly add a football program.
