Meet the Junior Mules, the adorable and unique mascot of the University of Central Missouri This cute animal mascot has been a part of the school's history since 1922, when students decided to ditch the old names "Normals" and "Teachers" for something more exciting. The mule was chosen because of its significance in Missouri's history and its reputation for being strong and hardworking [ICON_strength]. The women's teams even have their own nickname, the Jennies, which is a nod to the female donkey, or jenny, that is a mule's parent [ICON_female_sign]. It's pretty cool to have a mascot that's both historic and has a fun, personal touch. So, if you ever hear about the Mules or Jennies, you'll know they're more than just a team name – they're a part of Missouri's proud tradition 🏆.
