The Boxer Library is the perfect place for students to study, collaborate and complete assignments. It’s also the perfect place to house the university’s newly and coolly named resident skeleton: Bone Jovi.
The library staff held the first annual naming contest for its artificial skeleton model. It was neck-and-neck among Franklinstein, Marrow Streep, Dr. McCracken and Ross, but Bone Jovi stole the majority vote. The winning name was submitted by Cavan Pellegrino, CHP ’26; Elizabeth Schmid, CMS ’29; and an anonymous student from the College of Nursing.
“While Bone Jovi has been a resident of the library for quite some time and has been informally known by a number of names among our staff, we wanted to find a way to solidify the skeleton as a true figure of our campus and library culture,” says Claressa Slaughter, education and curriculum librarian. Bone Jovi is livin’ on a prayer … and a library chair.
