responsibility and athletic grit. The athletic programs are innovative, with players
achieving national success both on and off the playing fields. Webster’s teams compete
at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III level, and participate

chances to compete for conference, regional and national championships.

The Lore Behind the Webster Gorlok
At Webster, we pride ourselves on creating a campus as unique as you are, and that includes our mascot! The Gorlok is Webster's very own legendary creation and exemplifies the innovation, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking we encourage in our students, faculty and staff.
Get to Know the Gorlok!
Meet Our Mythical Mascot
The Gorlok is a mythical creature, uniquely created just for Webster University!
It has the paws of a speeding cheetah, the horns of a fierce buffalo and the face of a dependable Saint Bernard.
The myth of the Gorlok represents the high standards, atmosphere of fairness and good conduct that are so important to Webster University.
The name was chosen in June 1984 and takes inspiration from the intersection of Gore and Lockwood avenues, considered to be the heart of “Old Webster."
Webster University ran a contest in October 1984 challenging applicants to submit a sketch and description of what they thought a Gorlok would look like. The winning entry was a photograph of a furry creature holding a hand-held pump sprayer.
More Lore Unlocked
The Gorlok has evolved over time, continuing to be an important representative of the innovative and creative energy found at Webster University.
The first life-size Gorlok costume made its debut at a men’s basketball game in February 1988. The mascot stood 6 feet 3 inches and was covered in blue fur.
Today the Gorlok features golden fur, two horns on its head, and wears a blue letter jersey featuring a large, white “W” emblazoned on the front.
The Gorlok is an elusive creature who brings magic to campus. Keep your eyes open while you’re on campus, at athletic events and student life events, and you just might get a glimpse of the Gorlok in real life!
And don’t worry, the Gorlok is friendly! Don’t be afraid to snap a photo together.
