The Presidential Chain The Presidential Chain of Office, used in academic celebrations, represents traditions dating as far back as the sixteenth century and today designates the presidential leadership of the College. The Lawson State Community College Chain of Office, designed and constructed in 2007, displays the names of the institution’s presidents, both past and present, as well as two academic divisions of the College, including Liberal Arts and Technology. From the chain hangs the Lawson State Community College seal. Gonfalons The gonfalon, a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame, originated in the medieval republics of Italy as an ensign of state or office. Gonfalons have been adopted in many colleges around the world as college or institutional insignias. The gonfalons represent the two academic divisions of Lawson State Community College – Liberal Arts and Technology. The colors of the College, dark blue and old gold, are joined together in a pattern common to both flags. Units within each division are represented by the following color codes:
LIBERAL ARTS
TECHNOLOGY
Health and Physical Education–Purple
Automotive–Lime Green
Humanities–Crimson
Business–Orange
Mathematics and Natural Science–Kelly Green
