A MURAL IN THE CHILDREN'S SECTION OF REEVES MEMORIAL LIBRARY, PAINTED BY HONORS STUDENTS IN THE ART SEMINAR COURSE
Mark Kissner, adjunct faculty member of the art department, guides five students in this class: freshman Cayla Glover and sophomores Brian Blasko, Adam Bonfanti, Mike Diezmos and Sarah Elwood.
