At Susquehanna University, for example, the Riverhawks represent students who are distinctive, powerful, adaptive, and resilient, just like the bird itself🐦. In another context, UMass Lowell adopted the River Hawks mascot in 1994, emphasizing the bird's keen vision, sharp focus, and competitive spirit. The story goes that the idea came from the hockey coach and was influenced by the Merrimack River, highlighting the bird's strong ties to both the river and the land🌊. The Riverhawks mascot is all about embodying qualities like keen vision, adaptability, and a strong sense of home, making it a compelling and meaningful symbol for students and sports teams alike.
