He commissioned Westmont alumnus Jacob Grant ’18 to create an artistic piece and what he received caught him by great surprise. Grant designed “Great Was Her Faithfulness,” a piece inspired by Kerr’s legacy and vision, which shaped the lives of so many people. The large mosaic, which hangs in the lobby of the Kerr Student Center, incorporates many small photos of Westmont students throughout the years into an image of Kerr. “The idea of merging the two evolved into a mosaic that literally represents how our Westmont experience as students points back to Mrs. Kerr’s original work and vision,” Grant says. “We wanted to display the many generations of students who have come, graduated and gone on to serve around the world because of her legacy.”</excerpt><author>Westmont</author><image>
