For years, this white-nosed and white-tailed squirrel was well known on campus and thought to bring good luck, especially to students studying for mid-terms.

Now, some students want to preserve the legacy of the white squirrel by having it stuffed and preserved for future Coogs. They are also working towards a ceremony to celebrate the squirrel's life. A GoFundMe has been set up for these efforts.
