View From the Hill

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Lindsey Wilson University’s newest campus landmark, a stunning mural by local artist Dani Ford of Jamestown, Kentucky. Painted on the historic Phillips Hall, one of LWU’s oldest residence halls, the mural blends tradition with creativity to create a picture-perfect spot for students and visitors alike. Hear how Dani brought her vision to life, what inspired her design and why she hopes this artwork will become a timeless symbol of the Blue Raider experience. #MeetMeAtTheMural
