Community partners who may be interested in funding the production of the mural with dimensions of 3’x2’, at an estimated cost of $120, would be Honors or Rowan University. If lighting for night viewing is desired, that would be an additional cost. There would be few maintenance considerations, since the mural would consist of a full color, weather-resistant panel to be mounted on the exterior of the Whitney Center. Larklabel.com has examples of the type of sign proposed at www.larklabel.com “interpretive panels.” This mural would contribute toward the community because it will inform the viewer about the connections of the dynamic location to Glassboro’s past, present, and future. It will also inform the community about the mission of Rowan’s Bantivoglio Honors Concentration in the Honors College to “Think, Thrive, Share.” This may expand opportunities for diverse community partnerships between the program and the community.
