Meet Duck.
That's right. The name is Duck.

Mission
Redefine the concept of enthusiasm for a new generation. Embody encouragement through the power of school spirit, savvy and smarts. Duck goes well beyond cheering for Delta’s teams, to rooting for each and every Delta student to succeed. In fact, Duck represents a rallying point to unite the entire Delta community. 

Favorite color
Green, obviously!

Education
Delta College. These questions are too easy!

Pronouns
Duck/Duck’s

Hometown
No one knows for sure. Some say Duck is from Bay City. Others claim Duck hails from the Shiawassee Wildlife Refuge. One guy swears Duck lived on Sanford Lake and was on Dow High's swim team in the early 2000s, and, truth be told, wasn't that fast.

All Duck will say is that Delta feels like home.

Taxonomic family
Anatidae. (Nod to Delta's biology professors.) But really — no relation to Donald, Daffy, Anaheim, Howard the, or that other college duck in Oregon. Our Duck is an unquestioned one-of-a-kind persona that's brainy, quirky and engaging.

Superpowers – Duck’s a Flier

• Funny
• Loyal
• Inspiring
• Energetic, yet chill
• Relentlessly cheerful

First appearance
Hard to say. If you take a deep dive into the Delta College photo archive, you'll find early photos of ducks in the courtyard pond. Was that the duck? Our Duck? That's one for the facial recognition experts. Whatever the outcome, Duck is a true pioneer if ever there was one.
