For many Bulldogs, meeting Griff II had been a core memory. The harness ceremony celebrated those moments — and made space for Griff III to start creating that same connection for the next generation. 🐶💙🐾

There are many things that make Drake University one of a kind—tradition, community, and a mascot who showed up with heart every single time. Griff II, thank you for representing Drake with pride through the biggest moments and the quiet ones in between. You brought energy, comfort, and a sense of home to so many Bulldogs. Retirement looks good on you, legend. Griff III has big shoes to fill, but we know he’ll be amazing.

Words from Drake seniors that’ll stick with you long after the tassel turns — so if you’re wondering how to “do college right,” listen to the people who just did it: be present, be curious, and be bold! 🐾💙
