The old that is strong does not
wither, Deep roots are not reached

A photo contest created by the Franciscan Center for So-
cial Concern and the SBU Land Use Subcommittee show-
cased the school's snowy woodlands and encouraged
students to get outside and enjoy the beauty of our natural
campus in winter. Submissions were posted on social media
with the hashtag #bonabeauty.
The contest was a way to show the campus community
that natural areas of campus can be enjoyed in all four sea-
sons in addition to celebrating both the 100th birthday of
Thomas Merton and St. Francis being named the patron
saint of ecology. These 10 images received the most votes.

In the depth of winter I
finally learned that there was
in me an invincible summer.
