Macy is thrilled to be bringing this design to life in FGCU's library where she has spent the past five years gaining inspiration. Just a small peak into the incredible hands-on learning opportunities FGCU offers, this mural depicting scientific divers conducting benthic surveys and quantifying marine organisms via light microscopy will be representative of the myriad ways FGCU students turn knowledge into community-driven action. Having spent two years as a Research Assistant for Vester Marine Field Station and a current Instructor for the Scientific Diving Program, Macy based this design on first-hand experience of the incredible impact this kind of experiential learning can have on a student's development and on the communities they seek to serve. Water quality and overall marine health is of the utmost importance in SWFL, and will be an impactful subject for the first of many murals highlighting Knowledge in Motion.
