In thoughts of #IndigenousPeoplesDay this week, plants have played an integral role in the lives of Indigenous people. You can learn more on our campus by visiting the First Peoples Demonstration Garden or stopping by the Library to explore books.
For today’s countdown to opening day at #RoughPoint (only 4 more days!), we are taking a closer look at the details. Can you guess which *cozy* room this is?
