Tri-C: Where Triceratops Roam

Download the Coloring Sheet

MascotSixty-eight million years after last walking the Earth, the Triceratops has reappeared and taken on new life as the mascot of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®).

Colored in the school’s trademark teal, the Tri-C Triceratops stands as a formidable yet likeable creature unique among mascots.

Students, staff and alumni chose Triceratops as the school’s new mascot during an online September poll that attracted nearly 4,000 votes. With “Tri-C” built into its name, the dinosaur seems ideally suited to represent the College.
