    What's with the flower or whatever that is? Looks unprofessional.

    Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, is also the one who brought olive trees to humankind.

    Ummm..it is a wreath, very much a symbol of Greece.

    Hellenic is Greece. Hellenic American University. Makes perfect sense

    Interesting definition of Laurel Wreath also found this within that link:
    "In some countries the laurel wreath is used as a symbol of the master's degree. The wreath is given to young masters in the graduation ceremony of the university. "

    Hey! Thanks for finding this. I saw a copy of this exact diploma a few months ago, but could never find it again.

    The illustration looks amateur. The Laurel Wreath doesn't have to look cheap.

    I don't care for the leaves either, but they also figure prominently in the school's logo so I can't really complain: https://twitter.com/haunivmea

    Thanks to everyone for educating me on the school's origin. I did not recognize that it was a laurel wreath. The Jamaica Constabulary Force, which I was a part of for almost four years, uses the laurel wreath on its crest/insignia and on a few of the senior-most officers ranks.

    Honestly, people complaining About one of the most ancient symbols of victory and accomplishment on the diploma of a school with Greek origins makes me wonder what the heck you’ve ever learned in your degree programs. Profound ignorance on display here and I’m kind of surprised and disappointed.

    Well, dang it's not THAT serious. It's just a matter of taste.

    I think the wreath could be better done. It would look more balanced if it was much smaller.

    Sorry to disappoint you. :emoji_head_bandage:

    Profound ignorance is thinking that the memorization and recall of specific facts unrelated to one's field of study is an appropriate measure of learning in a degree program.

    You are joking right? For the western world, a passing knowledge of Greek culture, arts etc. Is a fundamental part of an educational foundation. I would argue it goes to the very heart of higher education.

    Regardless of ones field of study.

    Maybe somewhere like St. John's College, but expecting everyone involved with higher education to necessarily recall the cultural significance of laurel wreaths does seem a bit exacting.

    I'm not so sure I agree in this case. Olympics, higher education, art, fashion, authority in civil and military spheres, these are all things that the laurel wreath have been used in, to this day in many cases. Heck, recently the darn proud boys have high jacked it.

    It's truly a symbol with millenniums of use.
