Application steps
1. Form a committee.
Committees generally include a mix of students, faculty, and staff. At least one member of the grounds or landscaping department must serve on the committee to facilitate communication between the committee and those involved in campus landscaping. The committee should have a chair or multiple co-chairs and meet on a regular schedule. To maintain continuity a student may not be the sole chair, however a student is welcome to serve as a co-chair along with a faculty or staff member.
2. Complete the online application form.
Log in to create a profile and complete the online application form. Your application form will be reviewed once you indicate that it is complete and ready for review.
