Together symbolises the transformative journey of a student pursuing higher education. Drawing inspiration from the medicine wheel of the First Nations people of North America, the sculpture features a circle divided into four quadrants, each representing a cardinal direction and its associated qualities: East for peace and light, South for warmth, West for rain, and North for strength and endurance.

The circle, split and extended upward into a point, signifies the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. The front split represents the inquisitive mind entering the rich world of learning provided by the institution, and then venturing out into the world, equipped with newly gained wisdom and strength.

Crafted in enduring bronze, Together stands as a testament to the lasting impact of the College on its alumni, embodying the motto and acting as a compass for students navigating their journey of discovery and self-growth.
