With Tassel Flip, Newest ESF Graduates Move On
A report on the 2015 ESF Convocation, and a look back at one student's journey from freshman to alumna.
In celebration of Earth Week 2015, We asked ESF students what's on their environmental bucket list, and here's what they said.
What's on yours?
Syracuse University’s chapter of the New York Public Interest Research Group will hold a referendum on the Student Association election ballot to determine if it has the support of the student body.
The SU/ESF chapter of NYPIRG advocates for affordable tuition and supports student involvement in policy and governance. Every three years, they hold a referendum vote as pat of general student elections, to re-affirm student support for the chapter's continued presence at the colleges.
30 ESF students are participating as part of Orange Pulse Dance Troupe this year. This weekend's performance promises to be a great show, and it is a fundraiser for the Helping Hounds Dog Rescue in Syracuse.
The Food Recovery Network collects normally wasted excess food from university dining halls and distributes them back to the community. Since the chapter was established, 3,415 pounds of food have been redistributed to interested partner agencies in the Syracuse area.
ESF students established this program to save on food waste and support the community by gathering up unused food from campus dining halls and donating it to local community organizations.
SUNY-ESF graduate student Kristen Stewart attended the Camden, NY Relay for Life on May 31 to hand out American chestnut tree seedlings to cancer survivors. A cancer survivor herself, Kristen organized the donation with the American Chestnut Research and Restoration Project, on the basis that the chestnut trees too are survivors.
These are not the Project’s blight-resistant chestnut trees, which are still in the regulatory approval process. But they are a symbol of what is to come. They can be grown as “mother” trees to eventually pollinate with the resistant trees and promote healthy genetic diversity within the species once the transgenic trees are released to the public.
The Camden Relay for Life was a well attended event, and Kristen passed out over 100 American chestnut trees, along with instructions on how to grow them and links to our chestnut research website at SUNY-ESF.
