The RCU librarians Jill Beckwell, Allison Jimenez, and Abby Koet will be presenting Plant-care & Self-care: Creating & Promoting A Plant Propagation Station at Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA) 2025 Annual Conference in May.
Abstract:
Students in institutions across higher education are experiencing an increase in feelings of isolation, anxiety, and mental health issues. How can we meet our students’ needs in a small (literally!), inexpensive, and creative way? By promoting and encouraging self-care through plant-care. Join us as we guide you through the creation, implementation, and trial and error of setting up a plant propagation station in the library.
