This Week’s OWU Lingo: The Seal

The Seal  noun, place
/thuh • siːl/

“The Seal” refers to Ohio Wesleyan University’s official emblem, which is incorporated into the walkway between University Hall and Slocum Hall. Legend has it that if you step on the seal while you’re a student at OWU, you won’t graduate. Funny things happened to Dr. vandenBerg when he stepped on the seal as a new president. Be careful where you step!
