Columbia is getting a star – a Green Star Award, to be exact – from the Professional Grounds Management Society, which honored the University with the Grand Award for best in urban university grounds. In August, Columbia’s landscaping team, led by Richard Bussert, director of Landscaping and Grounds, submitted 26 photos for consideration. The images, taken by University photographer Eileen Barroso, showed campus scenes during the four seasons and highlighted a few of the landscaping challenges. from Columbia News: Columbia Wins Best Urban Campus Grounds Prize
