Yesterday, to celebrate Arbor Day, Tribeta and our biology department measured our Moon Tree to see how much she has grown!

Luna is 162.9 cm (5 feet 4 inches) tall! That means she had nearly doubled since our first measurement last year (85.2 cm, or 2 feet 7 inches). When she's a little bigger, we'll start tracking the diameter of the trunk as well, and we plan to start tracking Luna's phenology (the timing of when leaves change color, fall, grow, etc) in the fall.

Make sure to stop by and see Luna for yourself! She's looking healthy, happy, and green. 💚

Tuesday was MHU's annual SLAM celebration, and our natural science students were well represented!

Pictured here: Zavanah Aparicio and Cece Hale, who both gave presentations; Emmalyn Buskirk, Alex Kirchoff, Kat McDonald, and Savannah Stanish, who gave posters; and winning pottery by Savannah Stanish in the student art exhibit.

Additionally, we had students participate in other events throughout the day, including the fashion show, the debate about sport betting, the Bailey Mountain Cloggers, the Cadenza literary magazine, and more! It's so great to see our students thrive - our majors are so well-rounded and active!
