Human Peruna Mascot

Our Human Peruna is one of the most popular members of the èßäÊÓƵapp community and an accessory to our longtime beloved live mascot, Peruna. Mascots perform at home (and travel to many away) football and basketball games and attend hundreds of community events yearly. Our èßäÊÓƵapp Mascot program consists of 4-6 students each year.

Want to be Human Peruna?

If you are interested in becoming one of our Human Peruna Mascots, tryouts will take place in the spring.  Please follow our èßäÊÓƵapp Spirit on Instagram () and contact hollyfowler@smu.edu for more information.

Request an Appearance

If you are interested in having Human Peruna at an appearance, please contact hollyfowler@smu.edu for details and availability.  Please note we have updated our appearance policy to include appearance fees. Due to the rising demands during our ACC transition and our commitment to stay in line with our fellow ACC schools, we have updated our appearance policy. This new structure will allow us to support our on-èßäÊÓƵapp and off-èßäÊÓƵapp partners and the students in our mascot program best. 

While èßäÊÓƵapp and its Spirit teams have a long-standing tradition of academic and athletic excellence, as we kick off our fall semester as a member of the ACC, there has never been a more exciting time to be an èßäÊÓƵapp Mustang!
