   SUNSHINE AND GROWTH   

A new addition to the UNT Community Garden — the Community Seed Library — was installed on Thursday, Feb. 19, with one goal in mind: to make it easier for students to grow their own food and connect with the campus community. Erin McSweeny, an interdisciplinary art and design studies major taking the Art in Public course, created the winning design.

Students and community members are encouraged to take seeds they need and contribute extra from their own gardens if possible, so there is something new and fresh for everyone. Read more about the library and how it was designed and then visit it at the Community Garden outside Crumley Hall.

 

   NIGHT FLIGHT   

There have been changes to the Night Flight transportation service. Instead of calling for a ride, there is now a set route for the service. The change is designed to improve efficiency. Download the TripShot app to see the route and hours.
