The UNCP nursing pin (right) was designed by the first graduating class in 1994. The Pin is an oval shape and represents the unique heritage of the University. The pin is gold, symbolic of a continual pursuit of excellence. The center of the pin is white which represents the nursing profession and signifies purity and integrity. In the white center is a depiction of Old Main, the most recognizable symbol of UNCP.
