HUB-Robeson Center Mural Chosen as 2003 Senior Class Gift

Penn State's class of 2003 has chosen to depict the University's history in paint on the walls of the HUB-Robeson Center for its senior class gift. Colleen Hyland, chair of the 2003 senior class gift committee, explained that the mural will show various years of Penn State's history, noting important people, events and milestones since the University's founding in 1855. A committee of students, faculty and staff will work with the HUB-Robeson Center and the
Palmer Museum of Art to select a qualified artist to paint the mural, and to choose a location within the HUB. The winning proposal was submitted by Melissa Chestney (Class of 2002), of Carlisle. Seniors have pledged nearly $8,800 so far to the project. Most of the funding for class gifts comes from seniors pledging the balance of their general deposit.
