Students at Truckee Meadows Community College in northern Nevada have voted to declare their mascot gender-neutral.
The Student Government Association on Wednesday voted to declare Wizard the Lizard gender-neutral after discussing the option with other colleges and universities that are making their mascots more diverse.
Equity and Inclusion Office Specialist YeVonne Allen says making Wizard gender-neutral makes TMCC inclusive and progressive.
