meet our mascot
Soleil the solacc owl
In 2024, SoLAcc's Marketing & Communications teams partnered with the Office of Student Engagment to launch a nomination process for the SoLAcc mascot. After dozens of suggestions from our students, instructors, staff, and the community, the students got to vote on which option suits SoLAcc best. In the end, the students overwhelming chose the Owl to represent the college. Why? Well, because ...
- They are universally recognized as symbols of wisdom, intelligence, and learning.
- They are known for their keen vision, especially in darkness. SoLAcc guides students through their educational and career challenges even when the path is unclear.
- They can thrive in various environments and are very adaptable like SoLAcc students.
- They are known for their quiet, deliberate movements, which reflect focus and determination.
- They are nocturnal creatures, representing the idea that learning and personal growth are not confined to traditional hours.
- They carry an aura of mystery and wonder, inspiring curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge.
At the 2025 Student Showcase, the Owl's name was revealed as "Soleil." Soleil means "Sun" in French, and was our top vote getter. We also revealed custom designs by Denise Gallagher, Artist/Illustrator. We hope our Mascot can continue to help shine a light on the amazing students that walk our halls and enrich our community every day.
