Hazard Zet Forward The motto here at Seton Hall University as it is inscribed on our seal is Hazard Zet Forward. When looking up a literal translation I found that in English our motto translates, "through adversity we will move forward". This meaning is very significant and should be embodied on our campus. If I were to create a work of art to exemplify our motto, I would build an arch at the entrance of campus with the motto inscribed on it.

By stepping foot onto campus, students as well as their friends and family, will commence on their journeys for the next four years here at Seton Hall. Similar to the “Arch of Titus” constructed by the ancient Romans, I would construct this arch out of marble so that it could last as long as the “Arch of Titus” for all future Seton Hall students. To support the large amount of weight from the marble, voussoirs, or wedges of stone and or brick, would be used throughout the arch. For additional support, the arch would be composed of a combination of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns to create a unified look, similar to the Roman’s arches. On the bottom of the arch, which would be seen by passing through, each graduation class would have the opportunity to contribute by inspiring others and describing their journey at Seton Hall. Each class would be given a tile and they would have to come together to create an overall message that they would want displayed on the arch. This structure will be extremely significant to staff members at Seton Hall, as well as families and students. The “Arch of Titus” signified triumph over Jerusalem, whereas the Hazard Zet Forward arch would signify the triumph of embarking on a new journey. At the end of this wonderful journey here at Seton Hall the students will be able to come
