The Pennon

What is a pennon?

The newspaper's name, selected over two decades ago was explained in the premier issue:

"Pennon- (pĕn' ûn) noun
A flag or pennant flown from a sailing vessel as a signal. Sets of pennons are used to communicate complex or coded messages."

The name was chosen to reflect the nautical history of the local community for the students of NSCC. While The Pennon has undergone many layout changes in its storied history we have kept our name as a connection to this past.
