Graduate Union Lapel Pin

The exclusive golden design by Ingrid Tseng, perfectly captures the spirit of our cherished organisation and adds an elegant touch for you to wear to our upcoming events.

Ingrid Tseng is the winner of the lapel pin competition organised by the Graduate Union at the end of 2024. Currently a student of RMIT’s PhD of Gold and Silversmithing, Ingrid was inspired by the history of the Graduate Union and what our organisation represents. For her design, she considered two main elements: the first one is a graduate hat that “indicates that the union is renowned as the pre-eminent Australian membership association of graduates of universities around the world”. The second element is a pinpoint, the usual representation used in digital maps to indicate a location, as Ingrid explains in her own words “I wanted the pin in part to represent a destination and say welcome, you’re back home”.
