Ivy Tech Evansville has unveiled a mascot named Rex; it's a tribute to former Rex Mundi High School

Ivy Tech Community College in Evansville has unveiled a new mascot. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:
 
The student body, faculty, and staff chose Rex, a monarch lion.

Rex also pays tribute to the history of Ivy Tech’s main campus on First Avenue, which was Rex Mundi High School from 1958-1972.

Rex Mundi’s mascot was the monarch.

Ivy Tech says a large group of Rex Mundi alumni attended yesterday’s (Tues) event welcoming the new mascot.

Dona Hall, a Rex Mundi grad, bestowed Rex’s crown upon his head during the ceremony.
 
Ivy Tech student Gracie Defur, a visual communications major, helped develop the Rex costume.
