Spotlight on the Signature Wall Project REACH has a new addition to its office. At the start of the fall 2015 semester, the staff at Project REACH came up with an idea during a weekly meeting. The original thought was to paint the wall a different color and then the idea grew to not only paint the wall with chalk paint but have the Project REACH students sign it for themselves, leaving a mark on their college. Emily Keller, first-year psychology major, is working on drawing the Project REACH logo on the wall. She has hopes of finishing the project by the end of the month. Each signature has its own distinct color scheme and design—highlighting the personalities of our Project REACH members. If you have not signed the wall yet, please feel free to stop by the office and pick up a chalk pen to create your memory.
