It's All About the U.

This is Sebastian the Ibis. The legend behind the Ibis as mascot of the University of Miami is that the ibis is the last bird to leave an area as a storm approaches...

...and the first to return when the storm has passed.


Sebastian's design has undergone some changes in recent years; there used to be a somewhat more brutal look to him; he had a pipe and a band-aid. here is an image of that sebastian.
