For this year's Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, let's take a look at one of the most walked-by pieces of art on campus — the "Practice of Freedom" mural on the Student Community Center wall. This mural was designed by professor emeritus Malaquías Montoya (which hint hint, he is one of the answers on our Instagram Quiz today) back in 2012 to encompass the student journey. 

Swipe through to see the progress pics!
