 Meaning of the Nautilus:
Scientists, poets and sailors have long been captivated by the Chambered Nautilus. As the Nautilus grows, it creates new, wider and larger chambers that are perfectly proportionate. A lifeline connects one chamber to the next, so previous rooms are left behind but not forgotten. It reminds us that growth is part of God’s creation, and even as there are profound changes in the world around it, the Chambered Nautilus thrives. The Chambered Nautilus is emblematic of ideas, vision for discovery, rigorous scientific inquiry, innovation, renewal, continuity, change and interconnectedness. Thus, it symbolizes the mission of the Office of Academic and Student Affairs to support students in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions on their journey to grow intellectually, personally, socially, spiritually and professionally.
