The Jackrabbit Statue
Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØ is home to a 6 foot tall jackrabbit statue, proudly located at the corner of Andrews Highway and 23rd Street. This beloved campus landmark is part of Odessa’s iconic Jackrabbit Jamboree; a public art initiative launched in 2004 featuring 37 six-foot jackrabbits displayed across the city.
These colorful, creative statues are a point of pride for Odessa, frequently visited and photographed by residents and tourists alike.
