All About Big Stuff

For decades, each class at Winthrop was represented by its own mascot. In November 1975, the Student Government Association (now the Council of Student Leaders, Winthrop’s student governing body) began the process of selecting a mascot that would represent the entire institution. Thus, Big Stuff was born!
