4.7 (7)Sculpted in 750 pounds of bronze, UC San Diego’s half-human, half-marine mascot is a favorite campus stop for good luck.
Description
Championed by the senior classes of 1998 and 1999, the sculpture at Price Center East was created by artist and alumna Manuelita Brown. Blending a human upper body with a sea mammal lower body, the mascot was envisioned to be approachable and confident, serving as a unifying symbol of campus pride and a familiar backdrop for photos.
