Happy Monday Spiders! While we may not have snow days to look forward to this week, we do have plenty of fun events and activities on campus. Here’s a taste of what to look forward to:

Volunteer in the Eco-Corridor for Invasive Species Awareness Week
Learn about Richmond’s invasive species and how to manage them during Invasive Species Awareness Week (Feb. 28 - March 9).

After the talk there will be an optional volunteer session to help remove invasive plants! You can register here.
Make your own coptic journal
