<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe were very impressed with what the students created and are proud to display it in our service center here at UCCS. These students collaborated well and are very talented; their creativity and artistic ability definitely shows in the final product.\u201d Liz Finn, director of operations, Ent, said.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n The students designed the mural <\/strong>using Ent\u2019s logo and incorporated circular shapes throughout the piece. The colorful circular background embodies the various majors students can pursue at UCCS, and the contrasting \u201cE\u201d at the center of the mural symbolizes Ent\u2019s commitment to help students with their financial needs during school and after graduation.<\/p>\n –Dana Chippindale, Ent public relations specialist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
