Courage lives here.
With a 134-year history rooted in Catholic Benedictine values, Saint Leo University is a place of belonging for all those in pursuit of a greater purpose in life. Here, we courageously pursue truth and knowledge, put people first, make learning accessible, and let our Catholic faith lead us forward.
Courage Stories

Mary Rose Gullet ’23
Mary Rose Gullet grew up around horses. She rode them, cared for them, shared them. Then, she and her husband bought a miniature horse for their daughter — a purchase that would change her life.

Happy National Mascot Day! We’re celebrating today with Tyler Drone ’25, one of the faces behind Fritz the Lion. For four years, Tyler brought spirit, courage, and high-fives to the Saint Leo community.
“It is hard to sum it up, but just picture being in the middle of your favorite movie or being able to relive one of the best days of your life,” Tyler says of wearing the Fritz costume.
“Walking out to the crowd and getting a reaction from the crowd was electric. The cheers from the crowd get your heart pumping, the butterflies in your stomach, and the excitement that cannot be contained.”
