Each applicant must be sponsored by a full-time tenured/tenure-track CSU faculty member.

Santa Rosa Garden Club’s Gift to SSU Dedicated
A permanent, full-color porcelain enamel sign was dedicated on October 29 for the SSU Butterfly Habitat Garden, from the Santa Rosa Garden Club. The new interpretive sign is 3’ x 2’, and depicts three butterfly habitats with color photographs of the adult butterfly, caterpillar and host larval plant. The sign was dedicated in honor of member, Mary Merritt, who has volunteered at SSU since 1991. Santa Rosa Garden Club members secured a grant from National Garden Clubs, Inc. in 1993 to obtain funds to create the Butterfly Garden. Additional grants were obtained throughout the years from National Garden Clubs, Inc., California Garden Clubs, Inc. and California Horticultural Society. Financial support totaling over $25,000 including the $7,000 Butterfly Habitat Garden sign has created today’s park-like setting in addition to being an outdoor classroom.
