Name a Red Hawk

For years, the guardians of our Montclair sky have flown over campus nameless. It's time to show our red-tailed hawks a little love and give them the recognition they deserve -- a name!


With a gift of $19.08 to the Fund for Montclair State, you can personally name one of these majestic creatures. This act of good faith will not go unnoticed, as you will receive a personalized Montclair State University digital certificate recognizing this selfless act. The name Rocky is already taken, but the sky’s the limit for you to name his friends soaring overhead. It’s the perfect graduation or birthday gift for that Red Hawk who has everything -- except for a red hawk named in their honor.


Because we respect the dignity of our campus cohabitants, each name will get a thorough vetting, and while we enjoy a good laugh, we reserve the right to reject any name that we feel is inappropriate. If a name is rejected, your gift will not be refunded, so choose wisely. We will be watching with a hawk’s eye!


Please note: While the impact of your gift is real, this naming opportunity is purely symbolic. With your $19.08+ gift to the Fund for Montclair State, we hereby vest in you the power to point at any red hawk on Montclair’s campus and call it by whatever name you choose. Please allow one day for your digital certificate to be sent to you.


It's One Day to Name a Red Hawk.

Have some fun and name yours today!
