The University of Namibia - Coat of ArmsThe Coat of Arms of the University of Namibia (UNAM) is a heraldic device, whose designis grounded on an academic tradition that has been in practice for many centuries. Itcomprises three elements: a shield, a base, and a motto contained in a scroll.The shield is the central and most prominent feature of the Coat of Arms. It contains asymbol of the sun, based in the Namibian flag; and an open book. It, indeed, representsthe link between the University and the Namibian nation. The sun and the book are joinedtogether to form an integrated element, which is suspended in a field of crimson.The book represents the University as an Institution of higher learning, and symbolises theacademic freedom of enquiry. The sun represents life and energy. The integrated symbol ofthe sun and the book carries a double meaning. Firstly, it represents the envisaged harmonybetween the University and the Namibian nation, as expressed in the University of NamibiaAct, No. 18 of 1992, which expects UNAM to develop the highest quality education thatcaters for the needs, interests, and aspirations of the people of Namibia. Secondly, itrepresents the light and enlightenment radiating from the Institution.The crimson colour represents the vitality and courage of the people of Namibia, whosecollective vision, determination and sacrifice brought about an enabling environment thatnow permits Namibian citizens to acquire appropriate knowledge, ideas, and skills throughUniversity education, and to develop their full potential. It represents the organic linkbetween the University and the Nation, whose colours also include crimson. It also remindsus of the world wide historical symbol that “the life is in the blood, and blood is life”The chlorophyll-green Welwitschia mirabilis plant at the base, one of the oldest plants inthe world, which is only found in the Namib desert, symbolises endurance and continuity. Inaddition, its position as the base for the symbolic elements of learning and enlightenment,signifies that the strength of the University is grounded in the ideals, the culture and thetraditions of the people of Namibia, and has inherent qualities of creativity, endurance,and fortitude in difficulties. Welwitschia, indeed, survives in ahostile environment by harvesting the desert fog.The motto of the University: Education, Service andDevelopment, declares the mission of the Institution, andserves as a source of inspiration to both learners and teachers,and also UNAM’s entire community.v
