B次元官网网址淓verybody loves Wonder Woman,B次元官网网址� said Alison Anderson, the dean of business, technology and the Centre for Entertainment Arts.

She said she was asked by the centre what statue the college would like as a gift and she joked it should be Wonder Woman. Shen then realized it was a perfect choice.

B次元官网网址淚t really shows what the college is all about and what our Centre for Entertainment Arts is trying to do and thatB次元官网网址檚 to make a really inclusive space for creative teamwork and really making everybody feel like theyB次元官网网址檙e welcome,B次元官网网址� she said.

Anderson said more women than men were enrolled in the collegeB次元官网网址檚 game development program, so female empowerment seemed appropriate.

The statue showed the right amount of B次元官网网址渇ierceness and determination,B次元官网网址� she said.

Visual effects student Luisa Echeverry, 20, is fan of the statue and the superhero genre.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 really loving it. It is pretty cool, especially what it means with all the female power and everything,B次元官网网址� said the international student from Colombia.

Echeverry said she sent a photo to her mom Lina back home.

It took two years for the 74-kilogram statue made of polyurethane fibreglass to arrive from China due to supply chain problems. Anderson said it was shipped by boat to the United States and brought by truck to Calgary.

The statue is set to be introduced at an open house at the college on Oct. 21, which has been named Wonder Woman Day to pay tribute to the character created in 1941.

Gadot is not expected to attend.
