Origin of our college emblem

The expanding ribbon in the college emblem simultaneously represents the white college building, the character "八", and the letter "H" (the first character/letter of Hachinohe (八戸), which was designated as a new industrial city in 1964. Together, these representations symbolize the limitless growth and unbounded potential of our college.
