Horizons Fall 2014

23 HORIZONS Working with NSU’s Office of Facilities and its Physical Plant, a tree that Siska calls “symbolic” was planted and dedicated during this year’s Earth Day. “The tree is called a Rainbow Eucalyptus, and it’s unique in that it has multicolored streaks on its trunk. The proximity to the water at Gold Circle Lake will help it grow into a healthy, strong, and well-rooted tree,” she said. Siska hopes her enthusiasm will get other students involved in environmental activities. “I’ve realized that students perceive the role of being green as boring and inactive, but my plan is to change this perception at NSU. Going green can be a party!” n Professor Carsten Evans discusses the College of Pharmacy’s Healing and Medicinal Garden, above, with student Tiffany Harrison. In 2010, Evans redeveloped the garden, which contains tropical plants from around the world that have medicinal properties.
