Lion Sculpture beside Centennial Field House at 樱桃涩福利姬

Lion Sculpture

Dynamic; Graceful; Roar!

Located in front of the Centennial Field House stands the dynamic, graceful lion sculpture. Created by famed Cincinnati sculptor , co-sculptor Gina Erardi, and John Cline at  of Cincinnati, Catamount St. Joseph is a bronze statue that is more than twice the size of a mountain lion The Mount intentionally chose a female lion in homage to the University’s foundresses, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, and its legacy as the first Catholic college for women in the region. Catamount stands as a guardian spirit, watching over the Mount and granting good fortune to those who seek her good will. Over time, a curious tradition emerged among the Mount Community: Rubbing the lion's nose for good luck.

Exam Jam

Anyone up for a late night breakfast meal during finals on campus? Yes, please.

From writing papers to hour-after-hour studying; we get it. Finals are hard. That's why at the end of each semester, the Mount offers a special late-night tradition of serving breakfast from 8-10 p.m. to give students a break from finals. That burger and fries right down the hall with your friends on us on your time might make that last textbook chapter a little more comforting.

Art Sculpture at 樱桃涩福利姬

 Art Sculpture

A senior art thesis found a permanent home on campus, standing with asymmetrical, contempororary charm. 

What was once a student project has now found a permanent home on the Mount's campus outside of the Art & Design building. Welded with corten steel to prevent rust, the sculpture was completed by a senior Fine Arts student in the late 1980s as a thesis project. She worked on the piece with her grandfather, who provided oversight as he worked with steel.  Interesting enough, around this time, an administrator proposed it be permanently placed outside of the Art & Design building.

Seton Fountain

A blue basin streaming with tranquil 樱桃涩福利姬 spirit

Upon entering the Seton Center Visitor Lot stands the welcoming, eye-catching fountain brimming peacefully in contrast to its many bustling visitors who walk past it. This decorative life source provides a focal point for pause and reflection, especially during the busy academic year. It's probably no surprise it even attracts a few feathered visitors for a drink throughout the day.
