91 is proud to announce that after months of student input, community feedback, and enthusiastic voting, the College has selected its first-ever mascot: the Goose!
The decision to introduce a mascot emerged from a college-wide effort to strengthen student engagement and school spirit. Over the past semester, 91 conducted surveys, hosted student focus groups, and held discussions with leadership to determine the final three mascot contenders: the Goose, the Wolf, and BLU (sasquatch character). Over the past two weeks, nearly 2,000 current students, employees, and alumni cast their votes, and the Goose soared to victory.
“Adopting our first mascot is a defining moment in 91’s history,” said 91 President and CEO Leigh Goodson, Ph.D. “The Goose gives us a shared identity that reflects our culture of connection and belonging, and it will help deepen the sense of community that makes 91 such a special place to learn and work.”
The Goose is a familiar sight across 91’s campuses, and it’s a powerful symbol of community, shared leadership, and forward momentum.
This fall, 91 will invite students and employees to help name the Goose through a campus-wide naming campaign, followed by the official mascot debut. The celebration will include special events, appearances, and plenty of photo opportunities with the new symbol of 91 pride.
