During the first few days of Orientation, new students painted butterflies of various species over a map of the world that is displayed in the Warren Hunting Smith Library alcove. The different butterflies represent the migration of people and animals across the globe, along with showcasing different butterfly species. 

“Since it’s in a central location on our campus, it makes people think about the significance of migration and what migration really

means,” says Kirsten Roman ’26, of Los Angeles, Calif., a student mentor who assisted Martin-Baron in planning and painting the mural.
