When will the mascot finalists be announced?

On April 5, 2006, the Mascot Committee will meet and be presented with the results of the poll. After the meeting, the finalists will be announced.


Back to FAQs

Will the top-ranked mascot be the new ULM mascot?

The Mascot Committee, in conjunction with the President, will use the results of the poll to help them decide the new ULM  mascot.

Remember, a poll is used to gauge or determine what people think. It is not an election. Thus, the top-ranked suggestion may not necessarily become the new mascot.
