The sculpture depicts a young female graduate standing confidently, her hand lightly touching the edge of her mortarboard hat in the respectful gesture used to greet the Vice-Chancellor when receiving a degree. Her academic gown flows elegantly around her, symbolizing the honor and formality of the occasion. Her expression exudes pride and composure, embodying the significance of the achievement and the traditions that accompany it.

This sculpture serves as a timeless tribute to the transformative power of education and the joy of accomplishment, inspiring generations of students who walk through the university’s doors. The Salute celebrates not only individual success but also the shared rituals that unite graduates in a proud academic legacy.
