Wrapping up the College’s celebration of Earth Week, Keene Mayor Kendall Lane, Campus Sustainability Officer Mary Jensen, Assistant Director of Physical Plant – Grounds Bud Winsor, kids from the Child Development Center, and other members of the campus community gathered on the lawn of the President’s House on May 3rd for the dedication of a catalpa tree, planted in honor of Interim President Jay Kahn. The catalpa is one of Dr. Kahn’s favorite trees, and the appreciative staff of the Finance & Planning Office donated the tree in his honor. It should grow to a height of about 60′ and grace the President’s lawn for many years to come. Thanks Jay!
