NSU’s Arbor Day Celebration Has Something for Everyone
On Thursday, April 21, Nova Southeastern University held its Arbor Day Celebration, an event that drew faculty, staff, students from across the Davie Campus.
For the fifth year, NSU was recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree Campus Higher Education institution, joining 15 other Florida colleges in receiving the distinction. To be recognized, the university had to meet five criteria each year:
- Establishment of a Tree Advisory Committee
- Provide a Campus Tree Care Plan
- Dedication of Annual Expenditures to Tree Care
- Sponsor Student Service-Learning Projects
- Host an Arbor Day Celebration
As part of the celebration, a red maple tree was planted near the Alvin Sherman Library, NSU President George L. Hanbury II served as guest speaker during the occasion, five outside organizations participated, RadioX provided the music, and there were three food trucks.
More than 15 NSU organizations also participated in the celebration, including the Public Safety Department, Office of Facilities Management, Office of Student Success, Undergraduate Student Government Association, Nature Club, and Shark Dining.
Continued participation in the Tree Campus program shows NSU’s continued commitment to promoting environmental stewardship and advocating for sustainability on campus through our tree canopy, landscape management, and student programs.
