    Spring 2004 Oklahoma City University’s GEAR-UP program and the university’s Art Club organized an effort to beautify the campus by painting over graffiti on the wall surrounding the construction site for the Wanda L. Bass Music Center. Art majors from Professor Bruce Macella’s graphic design class supervised the project. Education majors from Professor Linda Hibbs’s class volunteered to help. Students from Coolidge Elementary School did much of the painting under the supervision of students from John Wesley High School, who participated as a service-learning project. Three of the school teachers involved with the project were alumni: Lora Hawkins-Carter, ‘01 Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio art and ’03 Master of Education (now pursuing a Master of Criminal Justice Administration at the university); James Cobb, ’03 Master of Liberal Arts; and J.L.
