SYMBOLISM AND TRADITIONS
Higher education is rich in symbolism and traditions, sometimes involving history that is hundreds of years old. Schools establish their own designs and meanings for aspects of this symbolism, creating imagery unique to each institution.
THE GGC SEAL
The GGC seal includes elements representative of the local and state communities, as well as the college’s four pillars of scholarship, leadership, service and creativity. It is used only for official academic or presidential communications and materials. The GGC logo fulfills all other identification needs.
THE GGC MACE
Derived from ancient weapons, maces were adapted for academic ceremonies and parliamentary occasions during the Middle Ages. GGC’s mace features a combination of materials symbolizing facets of the college and affiliated groups such as students, faculty, staff and the broader community. It is topped by a GGC green torch representing the light of education and its promise of a brighter future.
ACADEMIC DRESS
The traditions of academic dress or regalia date back to the 12th century when universities emerged from religious orders. Fabrics, patterns, colors, trimmings, robe length, hoods, tassels and other features are based on the wearer’s discipline, degree and granting institution. For formal academic events, GGC’s faculty appear in a wide variety of colorful regalia while college officials wear regalia specific to GGC.
Dr. Jann L. Joseph has been the president of Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) since 2019. Under her guidance, GGC has expanded its academic offerings, including new degrees such as the Bachelor of Science in health science and five nexus degrees for the entertainment industry. Joseph secured state support for major campus projects, including the Convocation Center that opened in late 2024. She also introduced men’s and women’s basketball to the GGC Athletics program.
During the pandemic, Joseph implemented strategic measures to support students and maintain the college’s financial stability. She also led the development of GGC’s strategic plans for 20232025 and 2025-2030. The second will capture the 25th-anniversary vision for the college.
Actively engaged in educational leadership at various levels, Joseph chairs the University System of Georgia Council on General Education and supports the Executive Leadership Institute. She serves on several boards, including the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education, Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Hispanic Chamber, Rainbow Village, Rowen Foundation and The Water Tower at Gwinnett. She is also an ardent supporter of Georgia Women in Higher Education.
Nationally, she chairs the American Council on Education Women’s Network Executive Council and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Professional Development Committee. She is also a board member for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and Higher Education Resource Services.
Joseph’s background includes bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of the West Indies, a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and extensive experience in teaching, research and administration at several universities. She resides in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and draws inspiration from her three adult sons and their families.
Before David Still was elected mayor of Lawrenceville in 2019 and 2023, and to the city council in 2015, he was appointed to the Lawrenceville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) in 2012. He was elected chair of the DDA in 2015, and served for four years, making him the first person to sit on both the city council and DDA. Still also served the former Lawrenceville Tourism and Trade Association (LTTA) in various positions from 2006 to 2010.
He is a member of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, and a board member of the Northeast Georgia Community Foundation and the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation, which supports the Northside Hospital Gwinnett System.
