Chancellor Paydar and Mascots 2019 Photo by Liz Kaye 20191108_Chancellor_Holiday_Video_BTS_LK_084

Color photograph. In a brightly lit indoor atrium with polished floors, a man is enthusiastically shouting into a white and red megaphone. He is dressed formally in a blue suit with a red tie. He is surrounded by three large, fuzzy jaguar mascots wearing athletic uniforms. On the far left, one mascot is jumping high into the air with arms raised; its white jersey reads "IUPUI 15." To the man's right, two other mascots strike active poses; their jerseys read "IUPUI JAGUARS." In the background, signs for a dining area and "DEMOCRACY PLAZA" are visible.

Not willing to accept that he was adopted from birth, Chancellor Paydar always tried to blend in at the Jaguar family reunions.

”May I have your attention – has anyone seen a large litter box, about 5 feet by 5 feet – it’s kind of urgent.”
