麻豆影院 State Receives Tree Campus USA Recognition for Eighth Consecutive Year

麻豆影院 has earned its eighth consecutive recognition from Tree Campus USA, a national program created in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals.

Heather White, grounds manager at University Facilities Management at 麻豆影院 State, says the grounds department is proud of the continued recognition, as it shows the university鈥檚 dedication to the community鈥檚 green infrastructure.

鈥淲e recognize that we are one of the first impressions of campus for prospective parents and students,鈥 White says. 鈥淚t shows the university鈥檚 commitment to maintaining and improving the campus in terms of its canopy cover. It shows our commitment year after year that we set a pretty high standard for ourselves, and that we鈥檙e able to keep doing it.鈥

麻豆影院 State achieved this distinction by meeting Tree Campus USA鈥檚 five standards: a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program and an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning project.

麻豆影院 State鈥檚 Tree Advisory Committee includes representation from students, faculty, facilities management and the community.

Chris Carlson, associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at 麻豆影院 at Salem and member of the Tree Advisory Committee, says the importance of the Tree Campus USA recognition extends beyond the 麻豆影院 State campuses.

鈥淭rees can grow without our help. But with our help, they鈥檒l not only survive but also thrive,鈥 Carlson says. 鈥淭hat means that properly placed and maintained trees will enhance the values of our properties, the beauty of our campuses and the beauty of our cities and our towns. And it鈥檚 a direct reflection, in my mind, of being able to proudly wave that Tree Campus USA flag. It shows whether or not that community or that campus is proactive and environmentally conscious.鈥

The 麻豆影院 Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university鈥檚 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed 麻豆影院 in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, 麻豆影院 State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
