It is my hope that as you flip through the pages of
this Highlander outdoor magazine, you will feel the sense of pride that
we have for our land, our culture, and our people.
That’s what Highlander Magazine is all about.
We may be Aggies in name, but we’re all Highlanders at heart.
Let’s start with how we got our name.
You see, back in the ‘60s, a group of Utah State
University students moved to make the university’s
official mascot the “Highlanders” in an effort
to show that USU had become more than an
agriculture college. According to history, the name
was a nod to our longstanding “ideological tie to
Scotland,” which was largely a result of our setting
“on a hill in a high mountain valley.” The Scotsman
is also a product of this tie, though it caught on a lot
better than the Highlanders. - Mady Koller // Editor
