Meet Duck.
That's right. The name is Duck.
PROFESSION: Delta College Ambassador of Enthusiasm. Some would say that sounds a lot like a mascot, but trust us – Duck is so much more.
Mission
Redefine the concept of enthusiasm for a new generation. Embody encouragement through
the power of school spirit, savvy and smarts. Duck goes well beyond cheering for Delta’s
teams, to rooting for each and every Delta student to succeed. In fact, Duck represents
a rallying point to unite the entire Delta community.
Favorite color
Green, obviously!
Education
Delta College. These questions are too easy!
Hometown
No one knows for sure. Some say Duck is from Bay City. Others claim Duck hails from
the Shiawassee Wildlife Refuge. One guy swears Duck lives on Sanford Lake and was
on Dow High's swim team in the early 2000s, and, truth be told, wasn't that fast.
All Duck will say is that Delta feels like home.
Taxonomic family
Anatidae. (Nod to Delta's biology professors.) But really -- no relation to Donald, Daffy, Anaheim, Howard the, or that other college
duck in Oregon. Our Duck is an unquestioned one-of-a-kind with a persona that's brainy,
quirky and engaging.
Super powers
- Intelligent
- Funny
- Loyal
- Energetic
- Inspiring
- Relentlessly cheerful
First appearance
Hard to say. If you take a deep dive into the Delta College photo archive, you'll
find early photos of ducks on the courtyard pond. Was that THE duck? Our Duck? That's one for the facial recognition experts. Whatever the outcome,
Duck is a true Pioneer if ever there was one.
Fun fact
Enjoys sushi and 80s power ballads.
Our challenge to you
Channel your inner Duck and join the flock.
We are all ducks in this pond.
