Cameron’s mascot is Ole Kim, an ex- Cavalry officer who sought his fortune in the Wichita Mountains gold rush of the early 1900s before becoming a cowboy, and then a Cameron student. He first appeared as a drawing of a cowboy in the 1955 yearbook, then was given the name “Ole Kim” in 1960 during a campus newspaper contest.In 1964, a costume was created for the home coming parade and a tradition was born. From 1969-1992, more than 25 students portrayed Ole Kim. After going without a costumed mascot for more than a decade, CU revived the tradition in 2004, when a new costume was commissioned. Ole Kim remains a popular figure on campus!
