Barnard bear

She greets you everyday on the main gates of Barnard. She dances with you at Midnight Breakfast. She decorates your bulletin boards, T-shirts, notebooks, flip-flops, and buildings. She’s Barnard’s beloved mascot, Millie the Bear, and she represents the “strong, beautiful Barnard woman.” But some alumnae have bemoaned seeing less of her since the Office of Communications decided to “phase out” her role as the college’s representative to alums.
