Elizabethtown College\u2019s Class of 2022 revealed their senior gift at an on-campus social event in late February. Their gift is a mural featuring Blue Jay wings on Zug Memorial Hall, which will serve as an engaging photo backdrop for prospective students and Etown campus community members.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mural will be painted on a 12 ft. by 10 ft. Canvas and the wings will have 22 bird footprints sprinkled along with the feathers. The mural will not be painted directedly onto Zug, but onto\"\"<\/a> a\u00a0special\u00a0canvas that is weather protected so the piece can be enjoyed for many years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the senior gift was to create a sense of unity and identity,\u201d Nicole Greiner \u201822, a Business Administration major and president the Class of 2022 said. \u201cYou don\u2019t get a sense that we\u2019re Blue Jays when you\u2019re walking around campus unless you go inside a building.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving this mural will create that missing identity outside. It will also give perfect photo opportunities for Accepted Student Day, Homecoming, Commencement, and other events.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The class hopes to add a sidewalk, leading up to the mural, so that the piece can be accessible.\u00a0 This will allow everyone to enjoy the piece and take photos.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose to put the mural on Zug as it\u2019s a popular walking path that the tour guides use to go between the academic buildings and can be a small stop on the tours,\u201d Greiner said. \u201cThis centralized location is the perfect spot for a piece of art that screams \u2018Etown\u2019.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Class of 2022 is still raising money for their mural. They have several upcoming fundraisers this spring including an opportunity to donate $10 and receive a commemorative mason jar, while a $15 donation will earn participants a mason jar and entry into a drawing for a diploma frame.<\/span><\/p>\n
