Redeemer\u2019s campus got a splash of colour this September. The vibrant red leaves of a Red Maple tree now give shade at the start of the pathway to the Meadowlands. The tree is a gift and legacy from recent Redeemer alumni. The tree sits behind residence Augustine Hall and will provide a shady resting spot to students on their way to the soccer fields, to church in the Meadowlands or heading to and from classrooms and residences. The Maple tree already shows a rich red for fall. The splash of colour was specifically requested by the graduating classes who donated the tree. The tree is a graduating gift from the classes of 2011, 2012 and 2013. \u201cThis gift was chosen to leave a lasting legacy and to bring a touch of colour for current and future Redeemer students to enjoy as they walk the well-traveled path to the Meadowlands,\u201d enthused Kristin Schonewille, who coordinated the planting with representatives from each class and with Campus Services and building staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three graduating classes give leafy gift to their alma mater","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":{"sub_title":null,"post_featured_image":null,"post_image_vertical_position":null,"post_hero":null,"post_featured":null,"post_featured_order":null,"post_hide_me":null,"use_drop_cap_and_lead_in":null,"lead_in_num_words":null,"hide_recent_articles_sidebar":null,"hide_popular_stories_in_body":null,"cover_story":null,"cover_artwork":null,"cover_photo":null,"related_faculty_members":null,"related_academic_programs":null,"search_keywords_and_synonyms":null},"yoast_head":"\n
