Northern's newest sculpture stands at the gateway to campus, in front of the Harvey C. Jewett IV Regional Science Education Center
A new wolf can be seen at Northern State University - a beautiful sculpture that stands in front of the Harvey C. Jewett IV Regional Science Education Center, at the corner of South State Street and 12th Avenue Southeast.
The wolf has drawn attention from numerous people - including NSU Honors students, President Downs and the building's namesake, Harvey Jewett!
It was installed in September:

Creating the Wolf Sculpture
Northern's new wolf, which stands in front of the Harvey C. Jewett IV Regional Science Education Center, was created by South Dakota sculptor John Lopez, a Northern alum.
“My inspiration was the wolf itself – the strength and power they possess,” Lopez said. “I like to find a motion or design within all the animals I do and a wolf has so much long hair that I could really go for it with a different kind of texture than I have attempted before.”
