College of Education
Candidates for Graduation
The banner of the College of Education features the fleur de lis, the flower of the lily or iris, symbolic of royalty
throughout the ages, but, in the case of the college, representative of that most royal of callings, teaching. The three
torches represent the three levels of education: the child, the adolescent and the adult. Their silver colors represent the
sincerity that all teachers must have and the peace that knowledge brings.
