Jake Merioles, a student painter, stands with his back to the camera at an easel in Memorial Glade, working on a painting of University Library. The Campanile is sticking up over the top of the library and the sky is blue with small white clouds. Merioles is wearing a black shirt.

Without his Friday painting sessions, Jake Merioles says, ‘I wouldn’t be the person I am today.’
