Mascot Unveiling:
The mascot design was revealed for the first time during the Fall 2018 New Student Orientation sessions in August.

The creation of the mascot was a collaboration between the Office of Student Engagement and the Office of Communications & Creative Services. 

About Swoops:

In the Spring of 2018, MCC students and the MCC community voted to make the Owl the mascot for the Sports and Recreation program within the Office of Student Engagement.

The owl has long been a symbol of wisdom. Many cultures believe that in addition to the owl being a keeper of knowledge, it also symbolizes transition and change. Since the College's focus is on helping our students succeed, we can't think of a better mascot for MCC.

Using the MCC Mascot: 

Offices, departments and student clubs may use the Mascot in INTERNAL printed and digital communications within the existing college community (students, faculty, staff). Versions of the mascot graphic approved for use can be downloaded here. 

• All other usage must first be reviewed by the Office of Student Engagement in consultation with the Office of Communications & Creative Services. 
• The mascot should NOT be used on official college communications or in external marketing unless approved by the Office of Student Engagement in consultation with the Office of Communications & Creative Services.
