THIS IS FGCU WHY EAGLES

The eagle was adopted as the official symbol to reflect FGCU’s mission and purpose. The eagle serves to identify not only the physical environment of Southwest Florida but also the University’s relationship with it. The eagle embodies the characteristics of freedom, strength, spirit, intelligence, grace and the pursuit of excellence. It is master of its environment but also an integral part of it. It survives and prospers only in balance with the environment

FIGHT SONG “Follow the Eagle” (written by: George Krumenacker)

Follow the Eagle, Follow the Eagle Soaring through the skies so blue. Fight! Fight! Fight! With integrity and might, Follow the Green and Blue, GO EAGLES! Follow the Eagle, Follow the Eagle, Lead us on to Victory! Strive for the goal; Give heart and soul, Fly on F-G-C-U!

SCHOOL COLORS

FGCU’s Founding President Roy McTarnaghan selected emerald green and cobalt blue as symbols of the earth and water, in keeping with FGCU’s environmental mission.
