Elm tree section

The elm tree section outside the archives currently is an ongoing project. It is from one of the trees cut down behind Alumni House in 2017 (?) as part of an expansion project. The wood was saved to use for lumber to build benches (which is underway as well, the Art Placement Committee has selected 7 artist's designs.) Jason Dauenhauer, Social Work, is the lead on all this. Two cross sections of an elm were cut as well. The college has one, the Brockport Community Museum the other.

The sections will be mounted and serve as timeline displays. A local man, John Rombaut, is going to build mounts for them. The location of the college one is not yet decided, the other will go in the Seymour Public Library. I will supply a timeline for ours, of notable college dates, e.g. 1942 we became a Teachers College etc.
