The “What Even Is?” series is the ADP office’s newsletter on different topics and concepts we believe you should know about. These are only to spark your interest into the topics we select, as there is no way we could explain everything in one to two pages. We hope that these short newsletters can serve to inform and generate civic engagement.
Buddy Broncho
Buddy Broncho made his first appearance in UCO's own newspaper The Vista. It was the October 3, 1932, issue where a Broncho appears wearing a UCO football uniform. He has appeared numerous times throughout the years from local Edmond papers in the 60's to state-wide papers in the 80's. The commissioning of the first ever live mascot appears in UCO's 1979 Bronze Book where Buddy Broncho made his first public appearance at Homecoming. Since that time, Buddy has been a fixture at UCO events and in the hearts of UCO students.
