Sammy

Sammy the Squirrel, an unusual UCLA inhabitant with a nose for news, has become an unofficial mascot of the campus' BruinLife team. Known for his uncanny ability to be at the scene of every major event, Sammy has his paw on the pulse of the university, often spotted skittering around with a discarded press pass. His knack for locating hidden acorn stashes translates into an equally impressive talent for unearthing news stories, earning him the affectionate title of "the Investigative Squirrel" among the team. Sammy's unique contributions (edited and fact checked by our copy staff), from delivering stories on tight deadlines to being a friendly presence during late-night editing sessions, have woven him into the fabric of UCLA's student journalism community.
