GODFREY – A new interactive mural greets visitors to the McPike Math and Science Complex at Lewis and Clark Community College. The work, which was unveiled during a Commencement pre-party in May, is the work of Graphic Design student Avalon Eales. The design was selected by campus and community vote held online this spring. When she discovered she won, Eales couldn’t contain her excitement. “I had to call my whole family and tell them I had been chosen,” she said. “It was a super memorable moment for me.” Eales, the daughter of Greg and Francesca Eales of Glen Carbon, is a 2021 graduate of Edwardsville High School. Her design was inspired by her own journey through college. “I realized how my life was going to be affected by my decisions,” Eales said. “Lewis and Clark gave me the opportunity to create my own pathway. I wanted to show how the main building has stayed strong through the years, despite all the changes to campus.”
