    Rockland Community College – Suffern, New York

    Currently I cheer on seven intercollegiate teams.
  3. How were you chosen to be school mascot?
    There was a campus-wide vote and Facebook survey.  The name “Rocky” was chosen (over “Hudson”) and a crazy bird was born!
  4. Do you have any friends that are mascots?
    Yes.  I do have many mascot friends.  Of course there are the Eagles, Cardinals and Blue Jays, but my new best friend is definitely "Boulder Bird."  Boulder Bird was hatched right around the corner from my nest when Rockland Boulders minor league baseball team formed in 2011.
  5. What is your favorite campus event?
    I think it would be New Student Orientation.  It is a fun day packed with energy and enthusiasm.  It signifies that the upcoming semester is upon us. I also enjoy seeing the excitement on the faces of the new students I meet them for the first time.
  6. What is your favorite food?
    Seeds and vegetables
  7. What is your favorite television or movie animal?
    This is easy….Big Bird, of course…I have to look out for my feathered friends.
  8. What do you like to do for fun?
    Um, seriously, I like to go to sporting events!
  9. What’s it like to be a mascot?
    Fun! I love it when the kids are having a good time.
  10. What do you consider the ideal fan?
    Anyone who shows spirit and enthusiasm for their team.  We have many fans of the Hawks and it is my job to keep them supportive and positive.
