By Joe Wilensky<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Florida native and self-described Disney fanatic, William Prevor \u201924 regularly visits theme parks to take photos with characters in their various costumes, documenting his conquests on two social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And when Prevor arrived on the Hill in fall 2020, he joined the Big Red Bears<\/a>\u2014the student-run organization that manages Touchdown, the University\u2019s beloved (if unofficial) mascot. As the Hotelie admits, he had a particular motive for becoming a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wanted to see when he was wearing all his different outfits,\u201d he says, \u201cso I could get my picture with him.\u201d But Prevor quickly became engrossed in the group that brings the furriest Cornellian to life\u2014and he\u2019s now its president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
