A vibrant show of color washes over the Mondavi Center's south wall in a show of support for the LGBTQIA community everywhere in the wake of the tragedy in Orlando. A member of the campus community suggested the rainbow-light display, and the Mondavi Center's technical crew made it happen. What was originally planned as a one-week display will now run until July 12, the one-month anniversary of the shootings at the Pulse nightclub. Campus units also are hosting a series of Community Healing Spaces; the next one is Tuesday, July 5.

The Horticulture Innovation Lab is looking for a few green thumbs to grow summer crops in four raised planter beds at its demonstration center during the summer months. If you have a good idea and a few hours a week to care for the crops, you can submit an idea to the lab's Pitch-and-Plant Gardening Contest. The deadline is Friday (July 1), and entrants must submit their ideas through a three-slide PowerPoint presentation. The finalists will pitch their ideas in person, and the winners will be growing from July 18 until October. .
