One of West Virginia University's most beloved traditions since
1936-1937 is the WVU Mountaineer mascot.
The "Mountaineer" is a student selected by the Mountain
Honorary who displays outstanding character, enthusiasm,
community service as well as academics.
The Mountaineer is given a tailor-fitted costume to wear
along with a coonskin cap and a rifle to carry.
The student typically sports a beard to complete the
Mountaineer look and makes appearances at sports, community and
alumni events to promote the Mountaineer spirit throughout the
state.
This WVU Mountaineer Ornament is an ideal keepsake gift for
students, graduates, faculty, and alumni of West Virginia
University - and for WVU Mountaineers football fans.
