About the College

 

 

 

【Annual Rings‧One Heart】

  • Patterns: Since the faculty members and students of the College are diverse, the foremost principle of the design is not to use patterns specific to any ethnic group. The main visual image is the College’s Monument, the spiritual indicator that accompanies our growth.
    The meaning of the College’s Monument, i.e., the two curved radians, is neither sheep’s horns nor the Chinese moccasin, but the curling state of the newborn leaves of ferns symbolizing endless vitality!
    The background of the College’s Emblem is the annual rings of a tree meaning that each year many new students join the College as one big family, and there are also graduates leaving the College to continue their growth and become stronger each day, but we are still part of the tree.
    The annual rings record our growth while the College remains the core of cultural education. Year after year, the College continues to expand and cultivate cultural seeds of various ethnic groups, and the seeds shall grow from the heart.

  • Color: The natural color of wood is used to emphasize the College’s connection to the land, Mother Nature, and humanity.

 

The College’s Emblem is designed by Kalesekes Culung.
