Meet Bucky

Buc E. Buccaneer, aka “Bucky,” is ETSU’s beloved mascot. Like those who call the rugged Appalachian Mountains home, Bucky is an adventurer who is always looking to the horizon and never backs down from a challenge. In fact, he loves the mountains and the people here so much that he long ago said “farewell” to the high seas, traded his ship for a kayak, and made the region his forever home. 

Bucky's head is sticking out from the crowd during a dance party.
