Nittany Lion Penn State Mascot Legacy Tradition Documentary Film
Abstract:
The Nittany Lion is one of the most recognized symbols of Penn State. Every time the Lion mascot makes an appearance at an event, he is immediately flocked by students, alumni, and children for pictures, autographs, or an “ear ruffle.” The Lion’s job is to make the crowd excited about the event and about the university. By connecting with past Lion mascots (and, at the time, the current Lion), I, now, better understand the role of the Nittany Lion and I can fully appreciate all the hard work that being the mascot requires.
