This week the unique antics of the Wilkes University Colonel mascot were recognized by the Times Leader, a daily newspaper based in Wilkes-Barre, PA. As we first shared last month, this spring the Colonel traveled throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania to surprise individual high school seniors and showcase the Wilkes educational philosophy of personal attention.

Check out the Times Leader story here to learn more about the initiative and hear directly from students on how it feels to be “punked” by the Colonel when you least expect it.
