Monarch Butterfly project brings joy and builds Dawson community
September 7th, 2022
In an annual tradition that never fails to awe employees and students with the beauty of Nature, the Sustainability Office distributed 100 Monarch Butterfly chrysalises to employees throughout the College, including to the staff of the First-Year Students鈥� Office, pictured.
鈥淭aking care of the butterflies together helps us take care of each other and Nature,鈥� said Jenn de Vera, project lead. 鈥淭his is the most wonderful time of the year at Dawson! Our priority is to involve new people every year and spread the joy.鈥�
At the time of publishing D News, a little more than half the chrysalises had eclosed and all were expected to eclose by the weekend. Every day at 12 p.m. this week, butterflies will be released in the Peace Garden. All are welcome.
