Diesel served as NIU's live mascot from 2005 to 2013. Diesel, the predecessor to Mission and Mission II, was named NIU's mascot emeritus by NIU athletics director Sean Frazier, allowing Diesel to attend NIU events throughout retirement. The siberian husky passed away on Sept. 7, 2015, at 12 years old.
