HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Lion mascot, “Roomie,” will undergo
a general makeover based on an online vote by students, faculty, staff and fans at
large.
“Perodically, Roomie gets a facelift to keep up with changing trends,” said Erin
Cowser, executive director of Public and Governmental Affairs at Southeastern. “It
is time for an update, which will be revealed in the fall in time for football season.
We’re going to Lion Up and change it up a bit.”
A university committee of students, alumni, staff and stakeholders narrowed the
possible selections to two, and interested individuals can vote online starting Tuesday,
March 28, through Tuesday, April 4. Votes can be cast at southeastern.edu/roomiemakeover with everyone allowed one vote.
The winning selection will be announced at a later date.
