HCC Hawk Mascot Program

This program is currently closed. More information will become available when we're accepting applications again.

The Student Activities Office is looking for students to wear the HCC Hawk Mascot and be a mascot handler at college events and athletic games.

Students will be selected each semester and will receive a $500 stipend at the end of the semester if they meet established goals. HCC retains the right to terminate the Contractor Agreement at any time, for any reason.

HCC Hawk Mascot Program Requirements:

• Good conduct, academic and financial standing at the College
• Enjoy interacting with people of all ages
• Comfortable performing (mascot) and speaking (handler) in front of people
• Be able to attend approximately 12-14 events throughout the semester; most events are pre-established
• Energetic, friendly personality
• Be organized, reliable and arrive on time
• Be physically fit and able to be active in hot conditions for 30+ minutes at a time
• Be willing to alternate during work time as the mascot and as the handler to the mascot
• Students will be required to submit a W-9 and complete an HCC Independent Contractor Agreement
   

Pre-established Mascot Event Days (subject to change)

For events longer than an hour, mascot will not be needed for the entire time. Specific times will be determined closer to event date. Applicants should be flexible and be generally available for most of the event time.
