Words of Inspiration
Pearl shared her favorite experience at Rosemont: “My favorite experience at Rosemont has been participating as a member of Rosemont’s environmental coalition, Rosegrow. Our goal is to pursue environmental stewardship at Rosemont, intended to have a lasting impact on the future of Rosemont’s campus. During the spring semester, we began creating the Patrick Herman Memorial Vegetable Garden as well as a native plant rewilding project. What makes Rosegrow so special are the students, professors, and Rosemont staff and faculty that share a deep love for our campus and its history. We remain dedicated to the Rosemont community and preserving the beauty of our campus. I’m excited for continued projects and the future of Rosegrow!”
