And it shows you can even have a little fun when doing it &#8230; Our new mascot, Blue, will help unite and represent a diverse community that spans every region of New York, every state in the country, and our alums in 96 countries around the world. Now let\u2019s make Blue this year\u2019s Mascot Madness winner.\u201d<br \/>\nBlue was submitted by Naul, an assessment specialist based in SUNY Empire\u2019s Selden location, who was recently featured on The Today Show with her family. In her submission essay, Naul wrote, \u201cAs SUNY\u2019s online college, our students can live and work anywhere\u2014across the state and around the world. You might say we give them wings to fly. Blue symbolizes intelligence, curiosity, and rebirth\u2014traits and meanings a lot of SUNY Empire students can relate to.\u201d<br \/>\nNaul received the top prize of $500, while second and third place were awarded $300 and $200, respectively.
