Dear Friend,

Warm weather is finally here, and with it comes convocation, and luscious green gardens... both of which are highlighted in stories below.

Campus is always a quieter in the summer, but there are still some interesting events happening on and around campus.  If you are free after work/school on July 8th, I hope I will see you at the public talk: The Nine Elements of a Sustainable Campus given by President Emeritus of Unity College, Mitchell Thomashow.  It should be a fantastic event. Read more about it and make sure you remember to register in advance!

Greener News will be taking a hiatus for the summer - you'll hear from us again in mid-August as the school year approaches. But we're always here; ready to be your sustainability resource on St. George campus. So don't hesitate to reach out to us!
