As the home of the only college in the nation with a gorilla mascot, Southeast Kansas takes that honor seriously. 🦍
Not only are there gorilla sculptures across campus, thousands of Pittsburg State University alumni have gorilla ornaments at their businesses or in their yards (gnomes are boring), making this the Gorilla Capital of the World.
Plus, the school’s iconic logo is recognized across the globe, which means students, staff, alumni, and their families know where to get gorilla gear.
