Information for those who think they have what it takes

On Thursday, February 21 at 7:00PM, there will be a competition in Johnson Chapel to determine who will be our school mascot, Lord Jeffrey "Lord Jeff" Amherst. The competition is open to the entire Amherst community and will be comprised of three events:

1. Speech on why you should be Lord Jeff.
2. Lead the audience in a cheer.
3. A third surprise event to test your strength, will, and love for Amherst athletics.

At the end of these events, those in the audience will cast a vote to elect a winner. Lord Jeff will be required to attend at least one event for every team in every season and all NESCAC and national competition events that are hosted on campus. Lord Jeff will receive a stipend for the semester for fulfilling his/her duties.

If you wish to contend for this coveted role, please email Drew Blacker at dblacker09@amherst.edu by Tuesday, February 19.

Until then, GO JEFFS!
