Mascot and Motto: The school mascot is the geoduck clam, panopea generosa. Evergreen College, Evergreen State and TESC are incorrect. Evergreen is acceptable on second reference. Name: The official name of the college is The Evergreen State College. Congressman Denny Heck, Washington Department of Ecology Director Maia Bellon.
Notable alumni: Singer/performer Macklemore, “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, online education entrepreneur Lynda Weinman, “MakerBot” CEO Bre Pettis, “Portlandia” and “Sleater-Kinney” performer Carrie Brownstein, U.S. In 2013, Sierra magazine named Evergreen one of the nation’s greenest colleges, based on sustainable practices on campus and a strong commitment to environmental education. Fiske Guide has repeatedly cited Evergreen as a “Best Buy” in higher education.
The 2014 Princeton Review calls Evergreen one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate education, based on outstanding academics. News and World Report’s 2014 listing of top public regional universities ranks Evergreen at #4 in the West. National reputation: Evergreen’s strong academics and moderate cost have earned the college top ranking in the most influential college guides. These are just a few examples of silly college mascots.Evergreen was created by the Washington state legislature in 1967 to offer integrated, flexible, and reasonably priced education that equips graduates for careers in public service, science, entrepreneurship, education, and the arts. These are two big streets that meet at an intersection on campus. Supposedly, the Gorlok is supposed to represent the paws of a cheetah, the horns of a buffalo, and the face of a…Saint Bernard? Fun fact: The name is a portmanteau of Gore Avenue and Lockwood Avenue. Back in the 80’s, a contest was held by the school’s paper to choose a campus mascot and it looks like nobody held back. The reason being, that this creature and concept were actually designed by the staff and students. We’ve got one more mascot to discuss – perhaps, the most creative costume award belongs to the Gorlok. We’re not exactly sure why the school decided to send a pickle back in time to it’s days as a cucumber, but hey – art is art, right? The Fun fact: Cheetos named this mascot the Number 1 cheesiest mascot back in 2012. That, then, became the fighting pickles and ultimately, morphed into Charlie the Cucumber. Apparently, there was a contest back in the 70’s to choose a mascot and “The Pickles” is what they came up with. While this school may not have an official athletic program, they without a doubt display their artistry through this odd costume. Turns out, there’s a backstory – this mascot’s got history. Ok, we’re still not sure what’s going on here. The Fighting Pickle – Turned Charlie the Cucumber (NSCA): Fun fact: you pronounce the name gooey duck. This is a duck with flare – just look at those high tops and matching umbrella! The fact that he’s wrapped in what appears to be a green burrito just tops off the strangeness. Just what exactly are we looking at here? This seems to be a very abstract interpretation of a…duck? This is clearly no ordinary duck. This is what happens when you throw a little creativity and randomness into the mix: Have you ever been at a college football game and found yourself wondering just what the other team’s mascot was supposed to be? Not all mascots are created equally.
