Job Summary/Basic Function


As a Mascot Entertainer/Assistant, this position comprises itself of two main portions. The first of which is being the anonymous student wearing the Rambo outfit at events such as football games, charity events, photo shoots, etc. Your role as Rambo at campus events is to bring a lively energy of both excitement and community to said events. This is possible by bringing Rambo's personality to life for both children, students, community members, and more. Rambo is a happy character and representing his character in good faith at these events is necessary.

Commonly this position will require interacting with people, doing physical activities, appearing publicly in front of crowds, etc. The second aspect of this job is interchangeable with the Mascot role, which is the Mascot Handler aspect of the position. Navigating events in a costume can be difficult, therefore Rambo is often attending events alongside an assistant to help lead Rambo through crowds, find locations, and help follow a timely schedule. Individuals with this job will often take turns with other people of the same title, swapping either being in the suit or leading, making all Rambo attendances two person tasks. Being able to do both sides of this position and support your fellow Rambo team members is necessary for success.
