Ronni Brashear, a senior art major from Madison, paints a mural in Harned Hall that reflects research taking place in MSU's Department of Biological Sciences. Brashear's third-floor mural depicts some of the organisms students and faculty are studying. Part of a collaboration with the Department of Art, it is the first in a series of murals that will be painted in Harned Hall. The murals will serve as senior thesis projects for participating art students.
