A blast from the past...🐦⬛
Did you know Rodney the Raven can be traced back to the 1970s? While the mascot's exact debut is unclear, Rodney's decades-long history includes homemade costumes and, briefly in the 1980s, a cheering partner: Ruby the Raven! Today, Rodney is an official member of Ravens Rhythm, Carleton’s dance and cheer team.
