Oakwood Univesity to Host Beautification Award Ceremony
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on July 21, 2015 On July 23, Oakwood University will host the Huntsville Beautification Awards. The work of Oakwood's Grounds Department has been recognized on the City's Beautification Honor Roll for more than 14 years. The award, which is a green and gold sign conspicuously placed at the entrance of the campus, is indicative of an exacting standard that must be maintained. Grounds Director Carlos Cole says, "They can pull your sign at any time." Next week will be the first time Oakwood will host the award's ceremony. If past years are any indication, Oakwood's campus is sure to be awarded once again. Oakwood's Grounds Department is responsible for approximately 600 acres of Oakwood's 1,200-acre campus. They are to be commended for their selfless dedication to maintaining a beautiful campus. The City Beautification Board was created in 1956, to improve the appearance of Huntsville through ordinances and by recognizing the efforts of private and public sectors in making a more healthful and beautiful city. The beautification awards have been presented for 36 years. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
