The ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï’s Adopt-A-Spot Program started in 2008 with the goal of fostering civic engagement and campus pride. Since then, Ã¿ÈÕ´ó¹Ï students, faculty and staff have participated by adopting areas of campus and performing litter control, assisting with spring planting and maintaining flower beds. 

This year, ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï campus community members are invited to continue this initiative by partnering with ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï Facilities to assist in enhancing ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï’s campus landscape.

Graham Nugent, director of Athletic Events and Facilities at ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï, said, “It’s something that you can take so much pride in, watching the flowers grow and making the campus prettier. I like to see other parts of campus who adopt a spot but am looking forward to showing off our new look going into the spring.”

As ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï begins to take a fresh look at campus beautification projects this spring, the Adopt-A-Spot Program offers a chance for the Bear community to get dirty, build relationships and embrace campus in new ways.
