All members of the community are invited to participate in the creation of the Mandala of Healing, or Medicine Buddha.

Rowan's Earth Day Celebration: BioBlitz

More info here!

The Rowan BioBlitz is a campus-wide event involving students, faculty, and the community where participants will check in at a central location at TimeSweeps.  They will then be tasked with going to a specific location on campus (for example, the woods at Engineering, the rain garden by Robinson, the stream by Science Hall) and will identify as many plants and animals as possible using the App iNaturalist.

The objective is to provide Facilities and SEE with information about what is living here on campus, either native or invasive species - and allow us to make progress toward being more sustainable.  It also gets people to spend time outdoors and see parts of the university they might not have explored before.  In addition to the mian BioBlitz portion, we are planning on having various speakers throughout the day in the Discovery Hall lobby presenting about various nature-based topics that will be on a schedule distributed in advance.  These speakers will be a mix of faculty members and local experts.
