The Whole Way.The University of Sioux Falls is a community that caters to “the whole person.” We believe in providing students with a well-rounded, Christian experience that’s more than academics or athletics or fine arts. Here students learn the value of serving others. They grow in new directions. They are challenged.

To us, The Whole Way is the reason the USF campus feels like home. It’s why students love their professors. It’s why freshmen don’t get lost in the crowd. The Whole Way is our way.

A new campus tradition. USF SculptureWalk was dedicated on April 29, 2011, to First Lady Gail Benedetto as an expression of gratitude from the Board of Trustees for her faithful service to USF.

The sculptures, which are owned by the artists, are on loan to the exhibit for one year. Each spring 12 new sculptures are selected for display.

Wings by Felix Velez – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Velez had no formal training in art, just a drive, a love of his faith and a sense of adventure. He draws his ideas and creativity from nature. Wildlife and the human figure are his favorite subjects. “God has created the human body, and it is interesting with its muscles and movements. The main thing is to capture the moment and make it lifelike.”

A

Cougar by Doug Baer ‘67 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Doug Baer, a 1967 graduate of Sioux Falls College, created this sculpture to represent a larger-than-life mascot for the school. “To me, a wildlife animal isn’t a zoo study,” he says. “Photo realism is just a rendering like a camera. To me when I’m around wildlife, they’re on the move. They’re looking, listening or adjusting.”

B

Science by Alan Newberg ‘66 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

President Reuben Jeschke (1953-1970) and science professor Dr. John Butler (1963-1974) commissioned Sioux Falls College senior Alan Newberg to complete a monumental sculpture to commemorate the dedication of the Salsbury Science Center in 1967. The corten steel sculpture involves three vanes representing physics, chemistry and biology; these vanes are connected by a central ring that structurally and symbolically unites them.

C

Cross Section by Paul T. Granlund – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

This sculpture, commissioned in memory of Joseph E. Salsbury, was presented to Sioux Falls College by John and Doris Salsbury. Granlund says, “Space shapes intersect the prisms to form a composite cross of geometric masses and shapes. Christ is invisible on this cross; in His place are two human figures.”

D

9/11 steel girder – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The steel girder from the World Trade Center is placed on the University of Sioux Falls campus in honor of those who lost their lives and those whose valiant efforts saved thousands.

E

Divine Servant by Max Greiner – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

This work depicts Jesus washing the feet of Peter as written in John 13.
