The Dedication Ceremony will be held on the south side of Fife Avenue, between the Engineer’s Office and the College Art Building, at the curve of the bike path (4-C Bicentennial Trail). Please park in the David Williams Park parking lot (enter from Fife Ave.) It is a short walk across Fife Ave. to access the trail and tree dedication area.

The dedication of the Quercus Macrocarpa, (Burr oak tree), will be in memory of Keenan Rinehart.
