Points of Pride

1. SU is on the P150 list of most diverse college campuses.

2. Otto the Orange is the only college mascot who is a fruit. The identity of Otto each year is a tightly kept secret!

3. Each year 35 college seniors receive Remembrance Scholarships in memory of the 35 SU students who lost their lives over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.
