Murals for Motivation

“Small progress is still PROGRESS. Keep going one step at a time.”

This motivational quote now hangs permanently in the Goddard Library, encouraging students as they pass by. The quote is part of a mural painted by Skye Donaldson ’26, MAT ’27, who received a 2025 Sara Bickman Music and Arts Summer Internship Award, which supports projects by students majoring in the Visual and Performing Arts.

Donaldson, a studio art major, called her project “Murals for Motivation.”

“It’s important to have art in a lot of spaces. More than anything, I want to see art around campus,” says Donaldson, who created similar uplifting art as a high schooler. “It’s nice to see how one of the smallest things can inspire others.”
