All In at Penn State

Penn State and President Barron want everyone in the University community to feel welcome and valued, no matter their background or beliefs.  It's a university-wide commitment to diversity and inclusion.  To help reinforce this message, President Barron has asked that a sculptural representation be installed on campus, preferably near Old Main.  A call for artists/request for proposals (RFP) was published with the fundamental challenge to: "Represent Penn State's aspirational principles of diversity and inclusion in a permanent interpretive work without reinforcing stereotypes or excluding any underrepresented constituency."  It's no easy task for sure.

As you can gather from these drawings, I had an idea that I wanted to share.  I think it's best explained through the slideshow below.  Wish me luck...
