The Benefits of Pollinator Gardens

Most of us are familiar with the benefits of bees. These little pollinators are responsible for helping produce 1 in every 3 bites of food we take. The economic benefit of bees is massive; bees contribute to the production of over $15 billion worth of crops each year.  Sadly, 1 in 4 species of bees is at risk of extinction. Mitigating the risk of extinction seems overwhelming and complicated but there are easy ways we can help; by planting a pollinator garden.

It is that time of year again, the time of year when campus becomes quieter.  Gone is the chatter of students and they clammer in the building early morning. The halls and gathering areas sit empty for the summer months. Staff and faculty will temporarily disappear during the summer vacations. And a staff favorite by far, summer hours have started. While the quietness of campus masks the flurry of activity happening in the departments and colleges that makeup ISU.

With April right around the corner, now is the perfect time to reflect on the goals you set for yourself. Did you set New Years’ resolutions for yourself? Have you stayed on track to work towards, and even complete, the goals you made for yourself at the beginning of the year?

As a day celebrated all over the world, St. Patrick’s Day is a highly recognized holiday celebrated during March. As a day intended to commemorate Irish culture and history, St. Patrick’s Day is widely celebrated in a variety of ways.

As we have now entered the month of March, warmer weather has already made itself known despite winter’s attempts at lingering around. Many of us here in Idaho are over the cold weather, and are ready to see spring and summer finally come around- especially after the cold winter we had.

For many college students, job searching can be one of the most stressful parts of graduating. The final year of college is, arguably, the most stressful academic year due to many reasons, and adding job searching to the list of things that need to be done just adds one more source of stress.

Here at Idaho State University, we are quickly approaching the midpoint of the spring semester, which means the 2022-2023 academic year is coming to an end soon. However, before we can start celebrating the end of another successful school year, we have to survive one of the most stressful weeks of any semester: midterms week.
