On Jan. 28, between the men’s and women’s basketball games against Transylvania University, Bluffton University will reveal which students are in the J Denny and Jenny Beaver suits. The men’s game starts at 2 p.m. in the Sommer Center, and the reveal is expected to take place at approximately 3:15 p.m.
Throughout the year, the mascots can be found at admissions, advancement and community
events. They also routinely cheer on athletes at sporting events. Multiple university
students portray the beaver couple, and the chosen few in the suit must pass a competitive
selection process that includes a written application, an in-person interview and
an audition in the suit.
Applications accepted through Sunday, Feb. 5. >
J Denny came on the scene in fall 2010 to honor Dr. J. Denny Weaver, professor emeritus of religion and longtime faculty athletics representative at Bluffton. Jenny was introduced in fall 2014 to help J Denny spread campus spirit.
The reveal will kick off the application process for the next round of Beavers to be selected for the 2023-24 academic year. Just 47 students have served as either J Denny or Jenny Beaver.
