This week we present a photograph of Tom Berlin, the winner of the UMBC mascot contest, posing with new UMBC mascot the Chesapeake Bay Retriever.      

The UMBC News. Volume 1, Number 5, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

In September of 1966, The UMBC News featured an article calling for a "Find Our Mascot" contest for the new UMBC university. 

 "'IT" comes... swiftly over hills and plains in a feverish attempt to reach UMBC on time... IT comes.. A nameless beast which will become the lovable pet of students for years to come..." 

was written within The UMBC News (Volume 1, Number 1) to encourage all UMBC students to enter and offer their suggestions for the campus' mascot as well as the student newspaper. The administration ran these contests in the hopes of giving UMBC students the ability to participate in forming tradition at UMBC. Just a short month later, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, student Tom Berlin's suggestion, was chosen among the various entries to be the official UMBC mascot and the name of the school's newspaper.

A much newer Homecoming tradition at UMBC is the annual Homecoming Bonfire on Erickson Field. First starting in 2005, the bonfire is an iconic tradition among the Homecoming festivities at UMBC. The idea for a bonfire came from First Year council member Thomas Locastro who gathered support for the event in October 2005. He had the honors of lighting the fire that year, as well as in 2006 and 2007. Since then, the annual bonfire lighting has taken place each year, except for two years when the event had to be canceled due to rain and bad weather. Activities at the bonfires over the years have included fireworks, movie showings, pancake eating contests, and free food.
