Florida Polytechnic University Chooses a Mascot

Move over Gators, Seminoles, Knights, Hurricanes, Ospreys, Hatters. Here comes the Phoenix.

Florida Polytechnic University has a mascot with students choosing the phoenix to represent the Sunshine States newest university.

Students made an excellent choice in the phoenix to represent Florida Poly, said the universitys President Randy Avent on Wednesday. It is a stellar symbol of our spirit and culture, and it conveys that Florida Poly is a place of creativity, problem solving and purpose. Our inaugural class should take great pride in defining this part of our legacy, and I look forward to seeing how they and our incoming class continue to shape our campus and traditions.
