To commemorate 200 years of dedication and contributions of staff at the University of Michigan, the University is dedicating a new work of public art, "Arriving Home," by renowned artist Dennis Oppenheim. The inception of a permanent public art dedication to staff began with Voices of the Staff and grew into a partnership with the Office of the President. Alumnus and long-time employee of the University Jagdash Janveja provided seed funding for the project. President Schlissel matched Jagdash Janveja’s donation and additional funds were raised via staff contributions through online giving. "Arriving Home" was selected in consultation with University staff representatives and with input from staff members across all U-M campuses.

The dedication ceremony will feature remarks by President Mark Schlissel and others.
