For the first time in its 56-year history, USC Upstate opened a ceremony with its own mace. The mace, which debuted at new student convocation on Aug. 20, is a traditional symbol of a university\u2019s peaceful governing authority. It is used for all official proceedings, such as graduations and convocations. When placed on its stand, it signals an event has begun, and when removed, that the event has ended.<\/p>\n

At the top of USC Upstate\u2019s mace is a silver flame representing the light of knowledge. On the head is the official university seal, along with an image of the main Administration Building, the original building on campus. These marks represent USC Upstate\u2019s history and the possibilities that lie ahead. The shaft is crafted from wood, signifying the strength of the university and its commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
