Help Us Decorate Eldred Before Grand Opening!
To help us make Eldred Hall into a cultural space for all students, we’re asking students to find artwork online that will represent their cultures. Please send us a link with the item(s) before Monday, March 6. The committee will consider all pieces before selecting and purchasing the final pieces.
In addition to the areas of the building reflecting the diversity of our campus community, we also have specific rooms that will reflect African American, Latine, Pacific Islander, & Native American/Indigenous communities.
Check out the Google slides of the spaces for wall colors and come visit yourself as Eldred is currently open (8am-10pm). Take some time to walk through the spaces and think about what kind of wall decor pieces could be representative of your community.
