The Twin Walls Mural Company painted a mural that is now displayed at the entryway of the new Undergraduate Academic Building as part of the broader campus initiative, 150 Years of Women at UC Berkeley. To commemorate the diverse representations of inspirational Berkeley women, the mural features Energy and Resources Group's very own Isha Ray along with 40 other distinguished Berkeley alumnae, faculty, and staff.

The women depicted in this mural are honored for their leadership, their profound contributions, and the lasting impact these contributions have in shaping and inspiring the future—both for our communities and for generations of women to come. Oliver O'Reilly, Berkeley’s vice provost for undergraduate education and a co-leader, with Sharon Inkelas, on this latest art installation, says "My hope is that when people see the mural, they will see someone who inspires them".

Isha Ray’s inclusion in this mural stands as a testament to her leadership and the lasting impact of her work. She is an inspiration to ERG, to the Berkeley community, and to future generations of women who will continue shaping our university and the world.
