  Dear Sarah,
  
  Thank you for sharing the Student Assembly’s recommendation that Cornell adopt the Big Red Bear as the university’s official mascot. As I said in my response last year, I am supportive of this recommendation, will share it with President-elect Garrett and the University Counsel’s Office, who can assist with getting this on the agenda for the Board of Trustees to review and vote.
  
  I would like to point out that Touchdown, the bear cub, served as an unofficial mascot, not the Big Red Bear. Also, the statue mentioned in lines 31-32 is meant to commemorate the bear cub, and does not serve as a statue of the university’s mascot.
  
  Regards,
  
  David Skorton
