Mascot: The comet Well that’s something different! Temoc has blue skin and fiery orange hair. Temoc is comet spelled backwards.
Hand Signal ~ The WHOOSH How to Whoosh • Make a fist with your left hand and put it in front of your mouth. • Then extend your right arm out and slightly upward, with palm down and fingers extended. It should look like the tail of a comet that slowly fades away. • Finally, give a quick lean to the left, and belt out a big “WHOOSH!”
the mini-whoosh • The Mini-Whoosh is a quick and quiet way to show campus spirit. • It resembles a tiny shooting comet, and it’s designed for those times when you are unable to do the full Whoosh • The Mini Whoosh is similar to making the “OK” symbol, with thumb and first finger making the “O,” but with the other three fingers extended horizontally above the “O” to represent the tail of the comet.
