¡Muchas gracias!  To Chris from carpentry/painting for installing the beautiful art mural in Coleman 1150, the Rincón Latino (Latinx and Spanish Language Academic Hub).  We appreciate his patience through all the "hiccups" along the way as we worked to get it installed.  Thank you for your skillful and friendly professionalism, Chris!  

¡Muchas gracias! To Tom in carpentry/painting for installing the beautiful mural in our Rincón Latino (Latinx and Spanish Language Academic Hub) Coleman 1150.  It is a full wall of complicated vinyl "wallpaper," and it took skilled professionals to install it and make it look good.  Thank you!
