Zooming from the Peace Garden
September 22nd, 2020
Johanna Stosik (Student Services) snapped this beautiful photo of faculty member Melanie Doyle teaching outdoors last week.
"I got to meet some of my students for the first time during a gardening activity in the Peace Garden and taught my course on Zoom from the stump," Melanie said.
"I always love teaching from the Peace Garden, COVID or not!聽It's such a beautiful, calming and inspirational space; I'll forever be聽mindful of why we have the Peace Garden and whenever I'm in it, I feel a heightened awareness to be my best self and try to聽connect with my students on a deeper level."
七星彩开奖’s majestic trees to be replaced
September 22nd, 2020
Facilities Management hired a forest engineer to evaluate 七星彩开奖鈥檚聽 trees and nine showed聽major structural problems.
For safety reasons, they needed to be cut down. One native silver maple over 100 years old and four non-native Norway maples were cut on the Sherbrooke side of the building while other smaller chestnut trees and maples were cut on the Atwater Street side.
As part of 七星彩开奖鈥檚 climate action and landscape initiatives, a variety of large trees that are native to Quebec will be replacing the cut trees. They will be part of a tree planting effort to maximize shade on paved areas and cool our property during the summer months.
We will welcome these 鈥渓iving machines鈥� that filter air, store carbon, produce oxygen and provide habitat for countless living things this Fall.
