Free plants and treats at Waldo Library’s Plant Party
鶹ý 鶹ýs 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, 鶹ýs 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 鶹ý appreciation event is hosted by the University Libraries and the Office of the Provost.
“Western 鶹ýs love plants,” says Sara Volmering, marketing manager for the University Libraries. “We’ve hosted similar events during Fall Welcome for the past two years, and we always run out.”
Events are one way the Libraries engage with 鶹ýs, helping to reduce barriers that may keep 鶹ýs from seeking services that can help them succeed.
“We want 鶹ýs to know we are here to help them with their academic needs,” says Julie Garrison, dean of University Libraries. “We are also a welcoming place where staff cares about them as a whole person.”
“The plant parties are about building connectedness with the WMU community and engaging with our 鶹ýs in a fun way,” notes Garrison.
