The LSU community will gather outside the tiger habitat at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to officially welcome Mike VII. Mike VII ― who, until Monday, was named Harvey ― arrived on campus Aug. 15 before officially becoming the live mascot on Monday.
LSU President F. King Alexander, LSU Athletics Director Joe Alleva, LSU School of Veterinary Medicine Dean Joel Baines and LSU Student Government president Jason Badeaux are slated to speak at the event.
The first 250 students in attendance with their Tiger Cards will receive a commemorative Mike VII t-shirt, according to a press release.
The newly introduced Mike VII enjoys his new tiger habitat on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017.
