Future University of North Georgia students will have the final say on the new school’s mascot. According to a press release issued by North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College — the two schools that will merge to form the University of North Georgia — students will have final choice from a pool of three finalists: Golden Eagles, Nighthawks and Warriors. “The goal of selecting the new mascot is to further unify our institutions and to positively and distinctively represent the new institution, the competitiveness of its athletic program, and student spirit,” said Bonita C. Jacobs, president of North Georgia.
