Every university has its traditions, but few mascots come with a story as distinctive as 91Ó°ÊÓ’s Stormy Petrel. Small in stature but legendary in spirit, the Petrel has long been tied to seafaring folklore. He was highlighted in a recent by Marshall Shepherd, who is a leading international expert in weather and climate, and a parent of an 91Ó°ÊÓ student.
At 91Ó°ÊÓ, the Stormy Petrel is more than just a mascot. Just as the seabird endures the fiercest winds and waves, 91Ó°ÊÓ students face challenges with grit, determination and care. Petey often walks around campus, reminding students that they are all Petrels together.
