The Ultimate Leader of the Pack
Have you heard the howls echoing through campus? That鈥檚 not just the wind 鈥 it鈥檚 Thunder, our fierce but friendly Timberwolf, bringing the North Central spirit wherever the action is. From cheering on our athletic teams to giving high-fives at college events, Thunder is always in the middle of the action. More than a mascot, Thunder is a local legend in the making.
Thunder鈥檚 Tale
Thunder鈥檚 story is as iconic as the Northern Michigan wilderness. Thunder hails from the deep forests north of the 45th Parallel, where the air is crisp, the lakes sparkle, and the trees stretch tall. Raised just a Petoskey stone's throw from the crystal-clear waters of Little Traverse Bay, Thunder developed a knack for rallying the pack 鈥 on the court, in the classroom, and out in the community. From a young age, Thunder wanted to be part of something even bigger than the wilderness. When North Central needed a mascot to lead the charge, it was clear Thunder had the howl and heart for the job.
