Take a selfie with UWM’s new, larger-than-life Panther mascot!
Designed by Tom Queoff (’77 MFA), the 1,200-pound statue was unveiled Saturday, Oct. 10, on the south lawn of Enderis Hall. This Panther is six feet tall and 12 feet long.
Recognized internationally for his mastery of wood, ice, steel, stone and bronze, Queoff created the Panther in partnership with Mike Martino (’78 BFA) and Mike Sponholtz (’79 BFA). The three met as UWM students.
The statue is a gift to campus from the UWM Alumni Association, Student Association and Student Housing Administrative Council. UWM adopted the Panther mascot in 1965 with an original design by James Cheski, then a graduate student in art.
