 The Celtic cross out front of Bockman
was a gift in 1956 from the Young People's Societies of Nordfjord, Norway. It is a copy of the oldest cross in
Norway, which dates to about 1000 A.D. The symbols on the
left are the first letter in the Greek word for Jesus, and
the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha and
omega). The symbols on the top mean "Christ the light of the
world." The symbols on the right stand for a four-word Latin
phrase meaning "The Word of God remains forever."The basement of Bockman houses the largest
campus computer lab as well as a few classrooms and faculty
offices. The main floor has classrooms and offices, and the
top two floors are single student housing. On a sunny day,
you’re sure to find folks out front of Bockman, sunning
themselves, studying, or just hanging out.
