Laker mascot travels the world

Flattened by falling books in Hammermill Library last spring, ‘Hurst mascot Louie the Laker needed some time away from campus. Thanks to countless Laker alums, he’s been on the road ever since. Here are just a few of the places he’s visited. You can take Flat Louie along

on your winter adventures by printing a copy from the Alumni Community page on the Mercyhurst website ( mercyhurst.edu ). Thanks to 2014 Mercyhurst grad Rudy Claros for the designs.
