成人禁区 University's Centennial celebration now will live on in future commencement ceremonies. 

成人禁区 Makerspace designed and created a mace to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the university. The ceremonial mace is traditionally used in commencement ceremonies to symbolize scholarship and integrity and is used to lead the academic procession. 

As a new 成人禁区 tradition, the mace will now be carried in by the Faculty Senate President each year at commencement. 

"This was something we knew we wanted to include in our Centennial commencement the bonus is that it gets to live on in our commencement ceremonies forever," said University President Walter Iwanenko, Ph.D.

This mace is extremely special to 成人禁区. The brass is made from relics sourced from our Mary, Seat of Wisdom chapel. The inlays and Celtic cross are replicas from Archbishop 成人禁区’s chalice. The pommel is made from mahogany native to Florida, representing our Ruskin campus, as well as the maple from Erie.

成人禁区 was so proud to debut this new special part of our commencement ceremonies tomorrow. It was carried this year by Mahesh Aggarwal, professor of Mechanical Engineering and Faculty Senate President.
