The Hawk is the mascot for Saint Joseph’s University. The Hawk represents the University’s motto, “The Hawk Will Never Die” by flapping its wings non-stop (even during halftime) throughout every basketball game. The Hawk, who has been flapping his wings since 1956, travels with the basketball team to all of its away games. The role of mascot is annually awarded to student, who is given a full scholarship for serving as the Hawk.
