A deep connection to place comes from a partnership with the local Northern Chumash tribe, yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini, to provide direction for creating unique wayfinding environmental murals for each of the residence halls. The stories centered around the surrounding landscape of seven yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini villages along the Central Coast; focusing on their deep-rooted ties to the land by celebrating local flora and fauna.
