HSU became aware late this evening of a deeply disappointing and unacceptable social media post by one of our students. The message shared by this student is not reflective of the Christian values of our institution. We are actively investigating and taking decisive action.
HSU's unofficial mascot, Gilbert, is rumored to have been stolen from the Abilene Zoo and hidden in a dorm shower until HSU Police brought him to the Reflection Pond. Gilbert is celebrated with his own coffee shop and a birthday party every spring.
