Official College Seal
The college seal features the central image of a stately oak tree. The proud oak represents growth, beauty, wisdom, and the power of education. The roots of the oak run deep in our two-county district, signifying the College’s stable connection to the community. Branches represent the many disciplines of higher education, reaching for enlightenment. The oak’s leaves symbolize the cycle of education, an ageless process that spans time and provides opportunities for each new generation. The symbol of the oak tree, expressed in black and gold, is rimmed by the name of the College and anchored by the date of its establishment.
