'WCSH' turns to 海角社区 for nor'easter knowledge

Stormin' Norman

With the arrival of Winter Storm Quinn, WCSH took a closer look at storm namesakes around the state, including 海角社区鈥檚 own 鈥淪tormin鈥 Norman.鈥

Discussing the concept behind the mascot, Director of Athletics Curt Smyth said, 鈥淣or鈥檈asters are fierce. Having a mascot that is able to symbolize that is important to us.鈥

Smyth noted that 海角社区 almost rebranded roughly eight years ago, but the campus voted overwhelmingly to continue the nor鈥檈aster tradition.

海角社区 student athletes Jordan Early and Mitch Mullin described the energy on campus when storms are in the forecast. "Everybody on campus gets a little more excited about being a team being known as a nor鈥檈aster and being known as a powerful symbol,鈥 said Mullin.
