GO OWLS!What is a Burrowing Owl?A burrowing owl is a small, ground-dwelling owl with a round headand no ear tufts. They have white eyebrows, yellow eyes and longlegs. The owl is sandy colored on the head, back and upper parts ofthe wings. Burrowing owls are easy to see because they are oftenactive in daylight, and are bold and approachable. The females areusually darker than the males.FAU earned the Fighting Owl role because…The FAU campus was designated a burrowing owl sanctuary in 1971 bythe National Audubon Society. The owls nest here because there are notmany predators, other than cats, near the Boca Raton airport. The feistybird, traditionally associated with wisdom and determination, serves asthe University’s mascot.Colors of OriginIn the conference room of the second floor of the Weir Plaza, it wassuggested by Adelaide Snyder, the University’s first employee and vicepresident for University Relations, that blue and tan representing thesea and sand be FAU’s colors. Roger Miller, then the top administrativeofficer of FAU, had just retired from Army JAG as a colonel and said henever wanted to see the color tan again.So Snyder brought the chart of colors in again and got the men (at thattime there were no other women) to approve French Blue and SilverGrey. Later red was added as a secondary color.Today the University’s colors are FAU Blue, FAU Red and FAU Silver.FAU Blue is the dominant color.13
