Hofstra University is one of a few Universities throughout the country that uniquely features two mascots: Kate and Willie Pride, a lion and lioness. The two mascots are named after the University's benefactors William Hofstra and his wife Kate Davidson.
In summer 2001, a team of university officials under the direction of President Emeritus James M. Shuart developed and designed what is today known as Kate Pride and Willie Pride. Kate and Willie can be found supporting the Hofstra Pride at sporting events, supporting their community at various charity events or just hanging out around campus with students. No matter where they are they are always having fun!
