Funny thing about ginkgo trees: they put on a show with leaves of gold, and then one day in mid-November, they suddenly drop 'em like they’re hot.
Think you can guess the date of the leaf-drop? Enter our contest here — or stop by our table in Norton atrium on Tuesday or Thursday — for a chance to win a Year of the Ginkgo prize pack. The contest is open to alumni, faculty/staff, current students and prospective students, and prizes will be awarded in each category.
You'll need all the help you can get for this challenge. Check out this helpful and educational lesson from Dr. Herman von German, BSC Professor of Ginkgology (also known as Jack Dominick '21).
