Much like the English Building and Lincoln Hall, I’m haunted too. You could say I’m really getting into the Halloween “spirit” 👻 #CSgrantsIL #NAicecfdn

If you haven't heard, we were awarded some grants to help finish the garden renovation! Until we reach our goal of $7,000, every dollar is matched with 3 more dollars. For example, $25 is matched with $75, which stretches it to $100! Read about it here: redoakraingarden.org/2020/10/20/joi…

Last year, my team held a special celebration to mark the end of Phases I and II of my renovation. 🎉🎉 To make it even more special, Berries & Flour bakery used acorns FROM MY RED OAK to make the cakes! Pretty cool, huh? Heidi tells us how she did it: redoakraingarden.org/2020/10/26/red…

We bet you can’t name a more beautiful campus. 🍁 Go on, we’ll wait. 😏

Did you know there are still 5 Austrian pines on campus that are around 100 years old?🌳 "Rooted in the university’s early history, these century-old trees have been carefully preserved." To learn more about the history of these trees check out ➡️bit.ly/3dc7k76

GREAT NEWS: My team was awarded an @ICECFdn grant that matches gifts 3 to 1! Until we reach our goal of $7,000, every dollar is matched with 3 more dollars. For example, $25 is matched with $75, which stretches it to $100! extension.illinois.edu/news-releases/… #NAicecfdn #csgrantsIL (1/3)
