College Mascot

The College’s mascot, the Griffin, is a legendary creature with the head and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and occasionally the tail of a serpent. It is the heraldic symbol of agility and eternal vigilance. The Griffin is an inheritance from Marymount College in Tarrytown, the institution that helped to found Marymount Manhattan College. The mascot is pictured on the seal of the College and is in the name of the College’s yearbook and Student Handbook.

In 2017, the College introduced Griffy (they, them) as the friendly embodiment of the Griffin.
