The 2022 ArboBlitz was quite the poplar event on Oct. 28, as nearly 60 volunteers teamed up with FOD Landscaping Services and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens to plant dozens of trees outside of The Ohio Union in just three hours.
On Saturday, October 8, student volunteers joined Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) staff to clean and maintain the Jennings Hall rain gardens.
Mary Leciejewski, Facilities Operations and Development zero waste manager, was recently recognized by the University Staff Advisory Committee (USAC) in their October staff spotlight feature. The feature recognizes Ohio State staff who exemplify what it means to be a Buckeye.
