The University of North Dakota Nickname Committee is collecting suggestions for a new nickname. Suggestions will be accepted from April 1, 2015 at 8 a.m. CDT to April 30, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. The online submission form will be removed at the end of the suggestion period.

1.Be unique, recognizable, inspiring, and distinctly UND’s.
2.Promote a sense of pride, strength, fierceness, and passion.
3.Be representative of the state and region in a way that honors the traditions and heritage of the past but also looks to the future.
4.Be a unifying and rallying symbol.
