Fourteen students, staff and alumni turned out and painted the dining and meal delivery area, the women's dormitory area and a section of the exterior courtyard. A special effort was made to retain the artwork done by another group several years ago when the women's dormitory was last painted. It was hoped that the designs would continue to enhance the area for women who have to stay overnight at the Good Samaritan Inn due to violent situations.
