Ah, those strong, chiseled features. The dazzling smile. The shining armor, mighty sword and shield, and helmet topped with jaunty plume. At Marian University, Knightro is our very own super hero. He's also our official university mascot.
Knightro loves to roam on epic quests throughout the realm. Take him with you wherever you go—vacations, concerts, restaurants, museums, or Indianapolis landmarks. He's always game for a journey. Learn how to make your own Nomadic Knightro.
If you spend time on campus, you never know when you might see Knightro out and about, going about his daily routine or having fun with students, faculty, or alumni (and Sister Norma, of course).
We shadowed Knightro for a couple of hours last week and this is what we saw. Check out our Day in the Life of Knightro video on YouTube.
It's a Ten.
We also asked Knightro why he likes being a Marian University student. Ask him tomorrow and the list will probably change—it's hard for him to choose just a few. Here's what he told us.

We plan to touch base with Knightro again in a few months. We want to see what he's up to when spring is in the air.
