Goldy the Gopher– the award-winning illustrious mascot for the University of Minnesota– is known for his shenanigans, turning heads (literally!) and being the #1 fan at every sporting event. Despite being one of the most popular figures on campus, the faces behind the mask remain completely anonymous.
The people filling generations of Goldy’s paws are the same students who attend daily classes– Goldy could be anyone.
Kimberly Plourde and Wyatt Fitzsimmons are two former mascots who can attribute their time as Goldy to memories that will last a lifetime.
