More Than a Mascot

Spirit was Presentation College’s live mascot since 2013. In December 2021, the Saint Bernard officially retired. She received dog regalia, Mascot Emerita status, and an honorary collar on Dec. 17 at halftime of a PC women’s basketball game. For eight years, Spirit has wandered the halls, lounged in the library, and snuck treats from the cafeteria. Her presence was uplifting for the students and faculty, and while Spirit will be missed on campus, she is now relaxing at home, taking a well-deserved break. // —Josie Clemens
