<P>IUPUC will host a dedication ceremony for its latest permanent sculpture on Friday, November 12.</P> <P>The ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. on the front lawn at IUPUC. Refreshments will be served. The public is encouraged to attend. </P> <P>The sculpture, &#8220;Transformations,&#8221; is the centerpiece of the Reeves Plaza and IUPUC&#8217;s new front door. It consists of a 30-foot tall stainless steel frame and three panes of lighted glass. The arced wall of the plaza includes an inscription of a quote from Benjamin Disraeli (British Prime Minister, 1868, 1874-1880) from which Meehan took inspiration: &#8220;A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.&#8221; </P> <P>The plaza was made possible by a significant gift from the Carl M. Reeves and Mildred A. Reeves Foundation.</P> <P>Meehan said the three panes of glass represent light, liberty and learning, and also the collaboration between IUPUC, Ivy Tech Community College and the city of Columbus. </P> <P>IUPUC receives support for higher education initiatives from many generous and forward thinking individuals and organizations.&nbsp; Please contact Stacy Zearing, Director, Office of Development and External Affairs, to discuss your interest in supporting higher education in our community.
