Moving In

Sammy Bearkat, the Sam Houston State University mascot, stands in a stairwell holding a large cardboard box and waving with his free paw. Sammy is dressed in an orange shirt and white shorts, appearing to help with move-in. The stairwell walls and steps are neutral in color with an orange accent wall behind him.
