The Delta College Duck

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 by 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!

Pronouns

Duck/Duck's

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 lived 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.

Superpowers

• Loyal
• 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.
