  2. “The vision of the Extension Nursery, Landscape and Turf Team is to serve as the University’s partner with the green industry to position us for the future.”

  3. TEAM JAZZ "The high degree of individuality, together with the mutual respect and co-operation required in a jazz ensemble carry with them philosophical implications that are so exciting and far-reaching that one almost hesitates to contemplate them. It is as if jazz were saying to us that not only is far greater individuality possible to man than he has so far allowed himself, but that such individuality, far from being a threat to a cooperative social structure, can actually enhance society." - Stanley Crouch.
