College of Engineering

Much like the College of Computer and Informational Sciences, the College of Engineering had a very mechanical type of feel, which is very fitting in representing engineering. The husky was part dog, and part machine. With metal legs and a metal apparatus on his back, he represents engineering mechanics at its finest. The husky even is equipped with mechanical head gear that is attached to the apparatus. He represents the College of Engineering in artistic manner by being like a machine and displaying the mechanics of engineering.

Bouve College of Health Sciences

The College of Health Sciences really impressed me with their version of the husky. Encased in a glass lid, the health sciences husky was displayed like a diorama in which certain sections are marked off and labeled. The husky represented a very medical perspective which represents the College of Health Sciences to a tee. Up close, this husky gave off a Frankenstein type of quality, which is a creative and artistic way to represent health.

College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences had a lot of expectations to uphold. Being the College of Arts and Sciences, they really had to create something that went above and beyond the artistic expectations. The college successfully did that by covering their entire husky in beads and sequences. From head to toe, there is not one part of this husky that us left uncovered. Not only was it very creative and original, they went above the expectation while representing the fundamentals of what the college represents. The representation is that when art and science meet, the creation is a beautiful, creative expression of the essence of the college.

College of Computer and Informational Sciences

This could have been another flog, but the College of Computer and Informational Sciences really pulled off a good representation of the husky. Their version of the husky mascot was a robotic husky equipped with a battery pack for power. Wrapped in metal and wires, this husky was probably assembled with genuine computer parts, which makes him one of the best representations of a husky by a college so far. The sense of technology and machine oozes off of this very creative and clever version of computer and informational sciences.

College of Continued and Professional Studies

Another husky display that I just did not understand was the College of Continued and Professional Studies. Granted, this college has a much harder image to represent; because what does continued and professional studies look like anyway? However, putting a husky in a block of blue isn't really the image that I had in mind. Although there is a transparent image of the outline of the world in the block, the husky just did not represent the college that well. If I had to design a husky for the College of Continued and Professional Studies, I would have designed an elderly husky. Maybe give him some gray hair and glasses.

School of Law

I think the School of Law could have been planned better. Criminal justice did such a great job, that the School of Law just couldn't come up with anything better. The School of Law glued different colored books all over their husky. I did not think their presentation of what their school represents was very original. Having the law on your side, there could have been many more creative outlets they could have taken. I would have liked to see one a police husky, and the other one getting arrested. That would have been a much better attention grabber and a better representation of what the school means...other than books.

College of Criminal Justice

The College of Criminal Justice did a great job with their version of the husky mascot. Painted in black and white with a star badge on his chest, his husky sits proudly on top of the world. Holding the scales of law and justice, this husky sits as a watch dog to uphold the law. This husky represents much of what the College of Criminal Justice stands for. It is very creative and artistic to have the dog sitting on the world, holding the scales, with the law on his side.
