"The Kugel" at California Baptist University

At the entrance of the Yeager Center at California Baptist University (8432 Magnolia Ave, Riverside), is a fountain with a floating grey marble globe that slowly rotates.  It is named the Kugel (German for ball or sphere) and at its base is inscribed a scripture (Matthew 28:19-20) in which Jesus charges his disciples to go to all nations and proclaim the Gospel. As described on the CBU website, it is a tradition for new students to touch the Kugel at the beginning of their studies at CBU. It also symbolizes the student's commitment to "live a life of purpose in accordance with his or her spiritual beliefs." The artist who designed the sculpture is unidentified.
