The Presidential Medallion features the university seal and an outline of the state of New Jersey with three inset garnets marking Rutgers’ presence in New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden. Both the medallion and the chain are decorated with ivy and oak leaves. The ivy represents the university, and the oak leaves represent the state tree of New Jersey, the red oak. The originally cast ivy and oak leaves, along with the seal, make the Medallion heavy, causing inconvenience for significant events. Dr. Yuebin Guo, Henry Rutgers Distinguished Professor and Director of New Jersey Advanced Manuacturing Institute (NJAMI), was charged to make a lightweight replica of the Presidential Medallion recently...
