The result is a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where anyone can find their place and everyone feels at home.
Community Spotlight
Harry Jack Gray Center Diversity Mural
Nevaeh McKinney ’23 and Lukas Struppe ’21 led the creation of the mural installed on the pillars of the Harry Jack Gray Center. Their goal was to illustrate the different types of beautiful people here on this campus. Thanks to a generous donation aimed at improving diversity and inclusion on campus, they gathered a group of students and artists to realize this goal, creating a stunning visual to celebrate the diversity and individuality of humanity. The design was led by creative director, artist, and student Evelyn Mtika ’22.
