Congratulations to Jason Lorimer, and the entire SSC grounds team who were recently awarded the Professional Grounds Management Awards Program (PGMA) Green Star Honor Award. This award is given to grounds maintained with a high degree of excellence. The program complements other national landscape award programs that recognize outstanding landscape design and construction.

VES's elegant and colorful pathway to the McCormick Dorm consists of a Pollinator Garden of perennial flowers which is sustainable and the flowers can be divided and replanted to reduce the costs spend on new flowers.
