What mascot or nickname would you recommend for Grinnell College to reflect its history, current environment and core principles, as you know them and why?

(No word limit)

''The strivers'' could be one nickname for Grinnell to reflect its history, setbacks faced by its students, and pioneers, its global learning environment, diverse community, and its emphasis on social responsibilities.

I have never been to the US, or to any of the US colleges; however, one of my preference choices is Grinnell.

The reason why I chose Grinnell was my desire to study in an international university, in a new and challenging environment, where I would have a wide opportunity to explore new cultures and mingle freely with a diversified community, meet new challenges and most importantly, move in a highly respectable and intellectual community.

Is this enough to answer this question or should I write more?

I don't think anything is wrong with a colloquialism... but I don't know where it is here, either!

Anyway, yes, you need to write more. What if you were the president of the college and had to make a presentation about the new mascot and name? What would you write? Come up with a name based on the qualities that attract you to the school. You definitely need to write more! :-)

I have to write the same topic "New Nickname for Grinnell" too. Anyway, your essay is nice but I think you need to write more than this one.

Movers and shakers
Free thinkers
Aspirants

Please thoughts suggestions. i need to pick one tonight!

this is really hard to answer. My thoughts are that aspirants should go.
Free thinkers too radical. movers and shakers interesting, but does it REALLY reflect this college?
Nonconformists is a long way of saying rebels...iono

give us some info, why you choose these mascot/names, would help

I am doing this essay too, I think "strivers" is a brilliant idea. I'm jealous I didn't think of it ;)

I like the nickname. However, some of your sentences are too long. And I think in this prompt you don't have to write the last paragraph, about why you choose Grinnel; in stead, you should elaborate more on the reasons why you name Grinnel ABC

Grinnell is not a university, but a college.

I named Grinnell as THE PHOENIXES as they recovered after the severe storm in the past. :D
