We hope that everybody here in the States had a wonderful holiday break! We have just finished answering emails from the past week- if yours was one of them our apologies for the delay but as you know we were out of the office. With Thanksgiving being last week I though it would be nice to share this story: the Morris Arboretum is sharing and giving trees to our campus. UPenn's University Architect has been partnering with the Morris Arboretum on a tree donation program in which the Arboretum has been donating trees that are resilient and able to withstand the pollution, increased heat and lack of water that city living provides. Thank you, Morris Arboretum, for helping keep our campus green and beautiful!
