Oddo by Donovan Peterson, installed on the University of Portland campus in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Oddo died in 1989, and in 1991, the university's president Reverend David T. Tyson recommended the sculpture serve as a memorial to Oddo. The memorial depicts Christ the Teacher and His companions.
