I. Welcome
II. Guest Speaker - Chris Cruz (Park Management). Fellow AGS member Greg
Rolin invited this speaker to present a volunteer opportunity to the club.
Mr. Cruz spoke of a potential project that AGS could be a critical
component. The project is to landscape the vacant plot of land next to
the Applied Arts and Sciences building and create a place for students to
gather, sit, study, as well as be able to learn about native plants. The
project was designed by a former WVC student while taking a class here.
The project needs help. First, it would be helpful if AGS (as a student
organization) approached Administration to let them know we want the
project to go forward. Second, the project also needs volunteer help,
both in fundraising/donation gathering as well as physical help with
installation. Please contact Chris Cruz or Greg Rolin for more
information. Mr. Cruz' can be contacted at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or
