Join the Pentacrest Museums in partnership with liveWELL and UI Facilities Management for a guided stroll on campus featuring the ecological diversity, symbolism, history, and lore of our trees. We'll use the lunch hour for discovery in this program — designed for you — with resilience and curiosity, health and wellness in mind.
For this tour, we're delighted to be joined by the College of Pharmacy and Hardin Library for Health Sciences who will show us the medicinal garden and Roots of Medicine Initiative. Guests will receive seed packets in the garden to collect some takeaways and we will give away a few prizes at the end of the tour.
Presenters:
- Andy Dahl, Campus Arborist, Facilities Management
- Carolina Kaufman, Director of Education & Engagement, Pentacrest Museums
- Bradley Gilchrist, Building Coordinator, Office of the Dean, College of Pharmacy
- Damien Ihrig, Curator of the John Martin Rare Book Room, Hardin Library for Health Sciences
- Matt Regan, Clinical Education Librarian, Hardin Library for Health Sciences
Other information:
- Meet at the Field House parking lot, just outside the double doors.
- Rain, snow or shine (we'll reschedule if lightning).
- All are welcome (students, staff/faculty, community).
- Staff and faculty: our campus has encouraged programming of this nature for employee wellness. Make sure to let your supervisor know you'd like to attend if you need a little extra travel time before and after the walk.
