Sister Carmie Day branches out plantiena Heights’ annual beautification day branched out this year to include a tree
ing ceremony honoring the first 50 years of the Michigan Colleges Foundation. In
conjunction with Sister Carmie Day, a 15-foot red sunset maple tree was planted in
front of Sage Union on the main campus, commemorating the MCF anniversary.
Sister Carmie Day, sponsored annually by Student Senate to “spruce up” the campus, is
named in memory of Sister Carmelia O’Connor, a former faculty member and counselor
who was committed to keeping the campus beautiful. Sister Carmie Day activities included
indoor and outdoor cleaning projects around the campus, from washing windows in Sacred
Heart Hall to cleaning flower beds in Trinity Garden.
