The
crowning feature of the Centennial celebration, "Ascension" stands as a
prominent landmark on campus. This 52-foot-tall, 7,000-pound sculpture
was commissioned to honor the institution's rich history while inspiring
future generations. Created by renowned artist Hoss Haley, the
sculpture's towering height and stepped structure symbolize the concept
of ascension, representing growth and progress. Its irregularly shaped
blocks suggest that the path to growth is not always straightforward but
filled with twists and turns. Haley's work serves as a powerful
reminder that with perseverance and continuous effort, there are no
limits to what individuals or the university can achieve.
