Burgy, ESUs Number One Fan Retires After Eight Years of Service
Posted by: admin on June 15, 2016, No Comments
After eight years of service to East Stroudsburg University as the Number One Fan of Warrior Athletics, Burgy has announced his official retirement effective Friday, June 10.
Burgy’s arrival was celebrated by the ESU campus community during Homecoming in October, 2008, and his mission was to: continue the rich traditions of the university through good will among all, support community service for others, and inspire a winning season year after year.
He’s opting to leave his den beneath Eiler Martin Stadium to join members of the bear family in the natural habitat near Fairbanks, Alaska.
When asked what he’ll miss most, Burgy’s response was ESU students, the Warrior Fight Song, guest appearances both on and off campus and food from ESU’s concession stands.
Pictured here with Burgy is Marcia G. Welsh, Ph.D., president of East Stroudsburg University, who presented him with a retirement timepiece as a memento of his time at ESU.
