UHCL Hawk mascot welcomed at Chili Cook-Off

University of Houston-Clear Lake welcomed its new costumed mascot – the UHCL Hawk – on Saturday during the UHCL 24th Annual Chili Cook-Off. The Hawk was named as the official mascot in 2012 after a five-phase mascot search process that began in 2010. This marked the first official appearance of the UHCL Hawk, which was brought in by a flight crew comprising alumni and students and pictured at the Cook-Off with UHCL President William A. Staples.
