Meet Ulysses, our fearless mascot

He’s a ram, sure, but there’s a lot more to him than his fuzzy visage.

Selfies, high-fives, Zamora’s coffee, local farm-to-fork food at the Hilltop Café, crocheted rams, puzzles, the Cornell Bookstore, trophies, and pep rallies. 

Favorite things to do 

Sledding down Pres Hill during winter, parades (anytime and anywhere), snoozing in hammocks, cheering the Rams, browsing at the Luce Art Gallery, making his mark at Chalk the Walk, eating at Late Night Breakfast, giving scratches during Pet Therapy Day, and playing foosball.
