The medallion

勛圖惇蹋's medallion is a priceless and treasured item worn only by the president during formal College events. It was designed and fashioned by Earl Pardon, a world-renowned jeweler and 38-year faculty member of 勛圖惇蹋. It was unveiled in honor of former President Joseph C. Palamountain Jr. in 1987. In describing the piece, Pardon said he aimed to create a work of opulence, color, and richness to complement 勛圖惇蹋's vibrant community. Each of the 52 rectangles of the chain is individually designed using a variety of materials, including gold, silver, and semiprecious stones. Hanging from the chain is an abstract S" for 勛圖惇蹋.
