. TRI-COUNTY TECHNICAL COLLEGE , Gonfalons The five academic gonfalons on display represent the College and its four academic divisions. Gonfalons, which are banners hung from crosspieces on poles, have been used since medieval times as symbols of state or office. The red and gold gonfalon with the official College Seal represents the institution as a whole. The gonfalons for the four academic divisions display the division names, the official Seal, and the colors associated with the academic disciplines of the divisions: Arts and Sciences – white, science gold; Business and Public Services – drab, peacock blue; Health Education – sage green, apricot; and Industrial and Engineering Technology – orange, science gold.
Mace The Tri-County Technical College Mace is carried by the president of the Faculty Senate, who leads the academic procession at commencement. Historically, the use of a mace dates back to the Middle Ages and was carried before or placed near a magistrate or other dignitary as an ensign of authority. In commencement exercises, the mace specifically indicates the authority of the College President to award degrees. The College Mace is made of pecan and brass and depicts the official College Seal. It was designed and manufactured by students in the Engineering Graphics Technology Department.
Regalia Academic regalia worn by persons in the procession varies in style and color according to the highest degree earned. The border and edging of the hood are in the color of the discipline for which the degree was earned as follows: Accounting....................................Drab Agriculture....................................Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities..............White Business Administration................Drab Commerce, Accountancy, Business.....................................Drab Dentistry........................................Lilac Economics.....................................Copper Education......................................Light Blue Engineering...................................Orange English...........................................White Fine Arts (including Architecture)..............................Brown Forestry..........................................Russet Health and Rehabilitation.............Sage Green History..........................................White Industrial Arts...............................Science Gold Journalism.....................................Crimson
