NEOMED Celebrates 33rd Commencement
Nate, the Walking Whale
Who says you have to have a sports team to have spirit? Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), a health sciences university that may be one of the only public universities in the nation without athletics, introduced “Nate,” the Walking Whale, as its first-ever mascot during an all-campus picnic on Wednesday, May 8. Nate was greeted by more than 300 faculty, staff and students, as well as mascots from neighboring universities.
