For the second year in a row, Capitol College “dug in” to make the campus a greener place by participating in the 7th annual Gorgeous Prince George’s Day, a county-wide initiative from County Executive Jack Johnson on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 on the Capitol College campus.
The focus of this countywide event is to plant trees, shrubs and flowers in an effort to create clean, healthy livable environments for county citizens. Through this partnership, Capitol planted 20 crape myrtle trees and 100 spring flower bulbs. Last year, through efforts from faculty, staff, and students, Capitol College was awarded the Bronze Maryland PLANT award as a first year participant and has since been accepted as a member to the Maryland Green Registry. Thanks to all students, faculty, staff and friends of the college who came out to make this a successful event!
