Traditions University Mace The UNCW mace, carried by the chief faculty marshal at commencement, incorporates elements and materials important to the history of our university and region.
The boss, or top of the mace: Represents the essence of education, the flame of learning. Four bands on the shaft: Symbolize UNCW's four academic areas as they were organized when it was made.
The terminus or end piece: A longleaf pinecone to symbolize the tree common to Southeastern North Carolina. The shaft: Made of live oak, a tree indigenous to the area, often associated with strength and endurance. Four gold-plated bands on the shaft: Resemble dentil moldings common to the Georgian architecture used throughout campus. The bands are inlaid with mother-of-pearl to symbolize the university's ties to the Atlantic Ocean and leadership in marine studies.
University Seal Although it has evolved over the years, the seal retains the triangle as a reference to our roots, adds the pine boughs for the longleaf pine indigenous to North Carolina and the scroll for a diploma-issuing university.
