About
Five decades. One foam suit. A lot of high-fives.
The short version: I'm Baruch's longest-tenured employee in the cheering business. The longer version is below.
The summary
Energetic and crowd-pleasing official mascot with over five decades representing the Baruch College Bearcats. I work the sidelines at home games, the front lines at recruitment fairs, and pretty much any Tuesday afternoon where there's a ribbon to cut near campus.
The job spans three CUNY schools — Zicklin, Marxe, and Weissman — and one very durable foam suit. The goal is the same every time: turn a room into a moment people remember.
