"Jestudo"
The Wasmers selected the "Jestudo" design from many options presented to them.
"I chose one that represents a Testudo attired in a very 'Maryland' fashion because, since I am not at the school with great frequency, it appealed to my sense of nostalgia for my Alma Mater," Wasmer said. "I decided to sponsor a Testudo because I thought the concept was a fun way of raising money."
Each of the sculptures is sponsored by a donation of at least $4,000. There are 8 statues still awaiting sponsorships.
