Mascot ‘Rip’ Awakens the Spirit at C-GCC

Since Rip Van Winkle, the Washington Irving character, has been given new life as the mascot of Columbia-Greene Community College, he has become a rallying point for students at the Hudson campus. As such, the bearded old man has taken on a new persona. With a determined gaze, Rip, as he is now known, is responsible for leading the school’s teams — all nicknamed the Twins — to standout seasons. And, it appears, he may be leading off the field as well. It was the students who revived the legendary mountain man. More than a year ago the Student Senate conducted a survey to see what students wanted in a mascot, and Rip was the overwhelming choice, due to his connection to the Twin Counties. “I see Rip as a symbol of unification between Columbia and Greene counties,” said then student trustee Chance Ryan. “Rip being our first mascot, I believe the atmosphere at Columbia-Greene and our sports events will only improve.” Following the senate’s decision, the athletics department worked with Summit Athletics Media Barbara Slutzky, the newest member of the Columbia-Greene Community of Charlotte, North Carolina, a company that spe- College Board of Trustees. cializes in design and implementation of college mascots.

Students are required to take a placement test and demonstrate the ability and skills needed to do col- lege-level work. Successful candidates may then be admitted to C-GCC to pursue the degree of their choosing while also participating in the State Education Department of New York’s 24 semester- hour program to receive their GED. Although Columbia-Greene does not grant or guarantee the GED, the college can assist students in their pursuit. An interview with a C-GCC admissions coun- selor is highly recommended.
