Can you name that bear!?

 


With the fall semester, along came a giant, gray bear. The fuzzy bear surprisingly showed up at the USF College of Nursing. No one knew where he came from! The furry friend, dressed in the USF Nursing uniform and a bow tie, spends his long days in dean's office, classrooms and labs. At times, he even shows up in the gathering space...studying with the students! Rumor has it; he is the father of the small bears that the college delivers to sick children at local hospitals during the holidays. But no one knows for sure!
