Purpose

To support the entire UWG community in celebrating and highlighting the multicultural, global dimensions of UWG.

Description

ISAP has acquired a full set of 193 international country flags recognized by the United Nations. They are 3 x 5 polyester flags with 2 metal grommets.

Flags may be checked-out by UWG clubs, organizations, academic and administrative offices for UWG sponsored programs and events. We also have 36 poles available, but not bases to stand the poles.

Respect

National flags are symbols of pride, which represent a country's collective identity, history, culture(s) and language(s).

All flags are to be treated with respect and displayed in the proper manner at all times (direction, orientation, off the ground, etc.) and returned to ISAP in the condition they were loaned.
