Trois universitaires portant des badges de conférence se tiennent ensemble en souriant devant des rideaux rouges. De gauche à droite : une femme aux cheveux bouclés vêtue de noir, une femme aux cheveux blonds ondulés en noir avec une veste à motifs, et un homme en veston bleu clair avec lunettes. Tous les trois portent des médailles ou épinglettes commémoratives sur des cordons.
