Meet Our Mascot: Killian the Gael

Killian the Gael keeps the Iona spirit high throughout the year! Modeled loosely on various Gaelic characters, Killian enrolled at Iona many years ago and loved it so much he decided to stay.

You can find Killian at Iona games, campus events and other happenings throughout the community.

Killian enjoys learning new dance moves, studying at Ryan Library and grabbing his favorite drink from Iona’s on-campus Starbucks.

Sometimes, you just gotta flex!

Killian is always up for a round of cornhole!
