Free plants and treats at Waldo Library鈥檚 Plant Party
色色啦 Michigan University students are invited to attend the y from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
In addition to planting a succulent to take home, students can chat with deans and leaders from the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs. All plants and materials will be provided while supplies last. This student appreciation event is hosted by the University Libraries and the Office of the Provost.
鈥溕 students love plants,鈥 says Sara Volmering, marketing manager for the University Libraries. 鈥淲e鈥檝e hosted similar events during Fall Welcome for the past two years, and we always run out.鈥
Events are one way the Libraries engage with students, helping to reduce barriers that may keep students from seeking services that can help them succeed.
鈥淲e want students to know we are here to help them with their academic needs,鈥 says Julie Garrison, dean of University Libraries. 鈥淲e are also a welcoming place where staff cares about them as a whole person.鈥
鈥淭he plant parties are about building connectedness with the 色色啦 community and engaging with our students in a fun way,鈥 notes Garrison.
