Naming of New Mascot
Increasing interest in club sports activities also created interest in the college mascot. As a junior college, the institution had used Mustangs as the mascot, but the name faded away after the intercollegiate athletics program was dissolved a few years after it began. In 2010, the Student Government Association asked for, and received, permission to name a new mascot. Nominations were received from students, faculty and staff. A committee reviewed more than 300 suggestions and recommended to the president that The Blue Storm become the new mascot. President Bell approved the recommendation.
