Arboretum Centennial and Community Care Day Events

April 22, 2025

Dear all,

Everyone is invited to the Library Lawn on the afternoon of Friday, April 25th for a Community Care Day and celebration of the Centennial of the Vassar Arboretum.

In addition to great treats (including cupcakes, churros, and tree-shaped cookies!), there will be opportunities to show appreciation for each other and for the trees, and to de-stress through engaging with nature. Come and get a flower for a friend, help paint a bench, go on a curated walk, and much more. And don't miss “Ice Cream With Our Groundskeepers” and the planting of the Class of 2027 Class Tree!

Schedule

12:00–3:00 p.m. Activities and delicious treats on the Library Lawn
2:00 p.m. Honor the Groundskeepers, next to the Loeb
3:00 p.m. Class of 2027: Tree Planting Ceremony, next to the Loeb
4:00 p.m. “A Time for Prayer: An Interfaith Gathering”, Library Lawn

Cosponsored by the President’s Office, Student Growth and Engagement, the Office of Sustainability, the Arboretum Committee, the Environmental Studies Program, Campus Activities, and RSLCP.
