Our mascot, Eagi, represents the brand attributes of a unitary NWU.

 

The eagle has a positive meaning across many cultures. It represents much-admired traits that perfectly match the NWU’s strategy and objectives. These include success, aspiration, courage, expansion, renewed life, leadership and freedom.

 

Eagi symbolises our commitment to approaching life creatively and soaring above the rest. He reflects our talent for finding new opportunities to excel and continuously improve.

 

Tian du Preez took this picture of Eagi during the NWU’s Varsity Cup match against the Shimlas on 17 February 2020 in Potchefstroom.
