What will happen to the gifts made by the graduating classes of 1986 and 1996 in support of the elms?
The class of 1986 spearheaded the Elm Re-Leaf campaign, which raised funds to purchase new elm trees to replace those lost to Dutch Elm disease. Students from the class of 1996 created an endowment that provides annual income for supporting general maintenance and upkeep of the elms. The University is attempting to address the issue with leadership from these two classes to determine the appropriate next steps.
