The Department of Kinesiology has found a unique way to honour its 2012 graduates.

The department commissioned artist Khanh Be, who earned her degree in kinesiology  last week – to create a visual tribute to this year’s graduating class.

The resulting mural – a six-foot-long illustration of six students in graduation robes,  emblazoned by the words “MAC KIN 2012” – can be found in the foyer of the Ivor Wynne  Centre.

The words act as x-ray images and reveal what’s “inside” a kinesiology student: their  passions, favourite activities and topics studied.

Be’s previous work includes a sketch of the  University’s founder and namesake William McMaster, commissioned for a video to  help celebrate National Philanthropy Day in November.

“It was an honour to do a project that represents the graduating class,” she said. “It was  mind-blowing to have that opportunity.”

Be recently founded her own company, drawattention, which specializes in taking  pictures and transforming them into stories using graphite on paper.
