“The best way to describe the feeling of putting on the costume is like the whole superhero persona. I take on a whole new identity.”

Merylee Sevilla is a Carleton student with a not-so-secret identity. She has been Carleton’s mascot, Rodney the Raven, for three years.

Sevilla doesn’t just see being Rodney the Raven as a fun alternative to her everyday self — she also sees it as a job.

This year’s frosh week at Carleton will host some of the classic favourites such as Ravenspalooza, canal games, beach day, and a slew of other activities.

The one big difference is this will be the   second year university administration has played an active role in the planning of the Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) and the Rideau River Residence Association (RRRA) frosh week.

Carleton’s residences have morphed over the years to adapt to the times and cater to the ever-changing face of the university’s student population.
