The Presidential Medallion
The Presidential Medallion is conferred on the President by the Chancellor of the California State University system as a symbol of the authority and responsibility of the office and is worn with academic regalia at official functions.
The CSU Channel Islands Medallion is a disk of highly polished bronze engraved with the University Seal. The seal contains the CSU Channel Islands Bell Tower in the forefront, with a rising sun in the background. The Bell Tower is an important symbol of CSU Channel Islands and serves as a function like those of bell towers around the world — as a community center. The rising sun behind the CSU Channel Islands bell tower signifies the birth of the University, with the light of knowledge and warmth of engagement emanating from the University.
