As we start working on this project and thinking about it being in the Student Center you really
then start thinking about the individuals that initially created the seal and why they
created it. That continuity of that great past that Miami has had and the great future
that we have ahead us. Putting the seal in the floor it was a great choice because of
the symbolism that's there. A book representing the past. The globe and the fact that we had
students created the globe, it's the present today. The telescope, the future, having our
own staff build the base of the telescope. I think it's symbolic of not only what Miami
is about as an institution, as a university of higher ed but it's also what makes Miami
special in that people come together. As an alum here it represents that whole flow. All
the people that made Miami what it is over the decades and centuries now, that great
past that Miami has had and the great future that we have ahead of us.
