Colleges of the Fenway Mascots Meet To Kick Off The School Year

Five mascots—a shark, a dog, a red bird, a wildcat, and a furry mammoth—walk in a line outside on a tree-lined path at the Colleges of the Fenway, with buildings and parked cars in the background.

MassArt’s mascot, Marty the Mastodon, and the other Colleges of the Fenway mascots kicked off the new school year with a meetup to celebrate the collaboration between the five neighboring Boston-based colleges and universities in the Fenway area.  The Colleges often share academic and social resources, representing more than 12,000 undergraduate students.

When asked about the mascot meetup, Leila, a MassArt student, said, “I think it’s wonderful, I do theater with a lot of the other colleges in the Colleges of the Fenway cohort, so I think that the more companionship, the better. There are so many resources and so many awesome people at these other schools, so I think that if our mascots can be friends, then we should be too.”
