probably remember the dreary hallway leading to the office. We would like

hallway leading to its offices. We are replacing the current black and
white pictures with a colorful, mental health-inspired mural created by MIT
students. If you are interested in designing and creating a mural that will
hang in the hallway, please fill out the form. We will review submissions
and select one/two persons/groups to create the mural. Materials/equipment
required will be provided.
