Used at Commencements and Special Events, Gonfalons are ceremonial banners that represent the Learning Institution. Used in processionals, Gonfalons date back to medieval origins. Gonfalons are a physical representation of the celebration of achievement. Gonfalons are mounted onto dark oak poles and are carried by honored students and faculty. For further background on Gonfalons, see our blog post

"Gonfalons Are My Life" written by our very own Neal A. Zucker.

Mr. Neal was exceptional. Provided a personal touch by immediately establishing a relationship via a phone conversation, followed it through to the end, and was amiable throughout the purchase process. The product is beautiful, the cloth makes colors POP, and the base is much sturdier than what is currently being sold!
