Why Eagi?
We, as the NWU, pride ourselves on offering high-quality academic programmes and a vibrant student life.
Keeping that in mind, there is no better symbol than our mascot, Eagi, to represent the brand attributes of a unitary NWU.
The eagle has a positive meaning across many cultures. It represents positive traits that perfectly match the NWU’s strategy and objectives. They include success, aspiration, courage, expansion, renewed life, leadership and freedom.
Our students and staff are leaders and visionaries who focus strongly on excellence in teaching and learning, and research and innovation.
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.
Eagi also embodies the importance of implementing ethics in everything we do, reflecting the value-driven nature of the NWU.
