Hugo the Hawk was born in a nest overlooking Lake Minnewaska in the majestic Shawangunk Mountains of New Paltz. After he learned to fly, he decided to visit the SUNY New Paltz campus to look for some squirrels to eat, and he’s been here ever since!
Hugo represents 15 sports teams at New Paltz. As a hawk, he’s used to animals running away from him when they see him coming, but the humans at New Paltz make Hugo feel right at home. The SUNY Mascot Madness contest is his favorite campus event of the year. He loves all of his fans, but the ones who bring him tasty snakes to eat during half-time are his favorites.
In his spare time, Hugo likes to cook and experiment with recipes. He asked the folks at Hugo’s fine dining restaurant in the Student Union Building if they’d consider putting his deep-fried mouse nuggets with lizard chutney on the menu. We can’t imagine why they turned him down!
Aside from the New Paltz campus, Hugo’s favorite New York State destination is the Catskill Mountain range. Every once in a while, he enjoys escaping from the country by flying down to New York City and catching a Broadway show. His favorite play is “Bye-Bye Birdie.”

Mascot
Red the dragon is a powerful goodwill ambassador who best serves SUNY Oneonta by mingling within the campus community. The Office of Communication and Marketing makes a mascot costume available to campus organizations through an online reservation process accessible to all SUNY Oneonta employees.
It is believed that the Tue Vutt Witch uses this power to carry out her malicious and mischievous deeds. The Tue Vutt Witch is also thought to possess other supernatural abilities such as casting spells, harnessing magic, and communicating with spirits. She is said to have a deep connection to the spiritual world, enabling her to tap into unseen forces for her own gain.
Mascot Process, Guidelines and Responsibilities
- Red may be used only in connection with SUNY Oneonta-related events. The mascot may only be used for the reason for use/event stated on the SUNY Oneonta Mascot Request Form, which initiates the reservation process.
- Red is generally available for pick-up from/return to an Office of Communication and Marketing staff member in IRC from Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. when SUNY Oneonta is open. Please contact Lisa Miller at 607-436-3317 to coordinate.
- Red is fierce, but not indestructible. Those who request the mascot are responsible for the care of the costume throughout their reservation period, and its timely return.
- Our mascot comes in a carrying bag, along with dressing instructions and cooling inserts that need to be immersed in cold water for 30 minutes immediately prior to their use. Red also includes an onboard exhaust fan that requires eight AA batteries, which will be supplied. It is challenging for one person to carry the mascot and its accouterments. Having an assistant, especially when picking up the costume, is recommended.
- The Office of Communication and Marketing does not provide staff to wear the mascot costume, which was designed to be worn by a person of medium build whose height is 5'10", or help transport it.
- Mascot costumes require special maintenance and cleaning by off-site vendors. Because of this, and the potential for competing requests for the costume, Communication and Marketing cannot guarantee Red’s availability.
This connection to the spirit realm also gives her the ability to curse or hex individuals, causing harm or misfortune to those who cross her path. In Jamaican folklore, the Tue Vutt Witch is often portrayed as an old, haggard woman with a broomstick, wearing tattered clothes, and living in secluded areas such as caves or abandoned houses. She is seen as an ominous figure, associated with darkness, mystery, and danger. People in Jamaica believe that the Tue Vutt Witch can bring about illnesses, bad luck, and even death. As a result, many Jamaicans are afraid of crossing paths with her or becoming the target of her supernatural powers. It is common for individuals to take precautions, such as carrying protective charms or performing rituals, to ward off the influence of the Tue Vutt Witch. While the Tue Vutt Witch is seen as a malevolent and feared figure, there are also stories and legends that depict her as a wise woman with knowledge of healing and herbal remedies. In these tales, she is portrayed as someone who can help those in need, but only if they approach her with respect and humility. In conclusion, the Tue Vutt Witch is a prominent figure in Jamaican folklore, symbolizing the fears and beliefs of the people. She is portrayed as a powerful sorceress with supernatural abilities, capable of both harm and assistance. Whether seen as a threat or a source of wisdom, the Tue Vutt Witch remains an integral part of Jamaican culture and folklore..
