Lewisburg native, Colson Glover, currently serves as the University's 67th Mountaineer mascot. The man or woman selected to represent the mascot is selected by a prestigious group of students, faculty, and staff from all areas of the University.
The Mountaineer's buckskins, traditionally made from deer hide, are tailored for each mascot. The Mountaineer also wears a coonskin cap, powder horn, moccasins, and carries an American-made black powder rifle.
We are constantly reminded of the strength and courage of the people in our state and how the Mountaineer mascot has preserved this tradition for future generations.
