Symbolism of the TAMHSC ring
The book
The open book represents knowledge, the practical vision that forms the foundation of professional education, as well as discoveries yet to be made.
DNA symbol
Rising from the book’s page is a symbol of our vital enterprise — the sharing of knowledge with others and transferring of discoveries into life-altering techniques and technologies. This mark represents the basis of life itself — the double helix of DNA — signifying your dedication to pursuing new understandings and devoting yourselves to improving lives in Texas, the nation and the world.
Laurel leaves
The leaves represent laurel. Laurel signifies achievement and honor; also, a token of peace and a symbol of victory. Laurel is symbolic of accomplishment.
