Kaskaskia College held Arbor Day celebrations at its main campus and at the Vandalia Center last week. The photos here are from the Vandalia Center celebration.

In the first photo, KC President Dr. James Underwood talks about the importance of the college's adjunct faculty during the dedication of a tree in those faculty members' honor. In the second photo, Mary Schulze, director of the Vandalia KC Center, points out the trees on the campus grounds, as well as planned future plantings. A tree was also dedicated in Schulze's honor.
