Other descriptive data:

I illustrate the empowerment of students and the engagement of Veterans as part of the Staying Connected: Together Serving Others initiative. The middle of the painting features the Alumni House - allumni reaching out to current students, with the crest highlighting their strong connection to the campus community. The banners at the top reflect the connection between students and alumni as they both seek to support the Veteran community. The three featured sections along the bottom reprsent music, writing, and stand-up comedy programs offered to Veterans through the students' William & Mary Center for Veterans Engagement. The camouflage backdrop serves to depict the overarching themes of the military connection in the community. - Emily Anderson, Class of 2015, Masters of Education
