FAQs about Tribe Mascot Auditions

When will the new mascot be announced? Will it be the Griffin, the King and Queen, the Phoenix, the Pug, or the Wren?

The work of the mascot committee continues and we believe we'll be able to announce something this spring. In the meantime, we're  dealing with some of the other moving parts that need to be in place. One of these moving parts is the selection of the student or students who will help bring the concept to life and really energize Tribe faithful.

Won't it be difficult for students to audition for an undisclosed mascot?

No. The qualities we'll be looking for are not tied to a specific mascot. Regardless of the mascot we choose, we'll need a student who can personify Tribe Pride!
