Arboreta

“On Holiday (Girl resting on the grass)” | 1879 Kuznetsov Nikolai Dmitrievich

During office hours today we pull together the results of over ten years of tracking the best practice literature for management of an feature of educational settlements, in any season.  Grass and turf management on school and college campuses is crucial for several reasons:

  • It enhances aesthetic appeal, creating a welcoming and attractive environment for students, faculty, and visitors.
  • Well-maintained grounds support outdoor activities, sports, and events, promoting physical health and social interaction.
  • Proper management also ensures safety by reducing hazards such as uneven surfaces or overgrown areas.
  • Environmentally, it contributes to soil health, water management, and biodiversity.
  • Maintaining the allure of green spaces reflects the institution’s commitment to sustainability and pride in its facilities, positively influencing prospective students and community perception.


Several trade associations are involved in campus lawn care and exterior environment management. These organizations provide resources, education, and networking opportunities for professionals in the field. Key associations include:

Professional Grounds Management Society – Focuses on grounds management in various settings, including educational institutions.

Sports Turf Managers Association  – Dedicated to advancing the profession of sports field management.

National Association of Landscape Professionals  – Represents landscape professionals and offers resources for lawn care and landscaping.

International Society of Arboriculture  – Promotes the professional practice of arboriculture.  (An ANSI accredited standards developer)

Golf Course Superintendents Association of America  – Provides education and support for turf management professionals, including those managing campus golf courses.

American Society of Landscape Architects  – Supports landscape architecture professionals, including those involved in campus planning and design.

Southern Ice Cream

University of Mississippi Financial Statement 2023: $1.207B

US Department of Agriculture | § 58.2825 United States Standard for ice cream.

Southern ice cream often differs from ice cream in other regions of the U.S. in several ways, reflecting regional tastes, ingredients, and traditions:

  1. Flavors and Ingredients:
    • Pecans and Pralines: Southern ice cream frequently incorporates pecans and pralines, which are popular in the region.
    • Peaches: Georgia is known for its peaches, so peach-flavored ice cream is a Southern staple.
    • Sweet Tea and Bourbon: These flavors are inspired by Southern beverages and can be found in ice creams.
    • Buttermilk: Buttermilk ice cream has a tangy flavor and is a nod to traditional Southern cooking.
  2. Style and Texture:
    • Custard Base: Southern ice cream often uses a custard base, which includes egg yolks, giving it a richer and creamier texture compared to the typical Philadelphia-style ice cream that uses a simpler cream and sugar base.
    • Churned at Home: Traditional Southern ice cream is often made using hand-cranked ice cream makers, producing a different texture and incorporating more air, which can make it lighter and fluffier.
  3. Historical Influence:
    • Cultural Heritage: The South’s diverse cultural heritage influences its ice cream, with recipes passed down through generations and reflecting African American, Native American, and European influences.
  4. Popular Brands and Shops:
    • Regional Brands: Brands like Blue Bell, which originated in Texas, are particularly popular in the South and known for their classic Southern flavors.
    • Local Shops: Small, local ice cream parlors in the South often offer unique, homemade flavors that highlight regional ingredients and traditions.

These differences highlight the South’s rich culinary traditions and how they extend even to sweet treats like ice cream.

Geoffrey Hinton & Joel Hellermark

This conversation was recorded in April 2024 at the Royal Institute of Great Britain in London. An edited version was premiered at Sana AI Summit on May 15 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden.

Geoffrey Hinton has been called “the godfather of AI” and is considered one of the most prominent thought leaders on the emergence of artificial intelligence. He has served as a faculty member at Carnegie-Mellon and a fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. He is now Emeritus Professor at the University of Toronto. In 2023, Geoffrey left his position at Google so that he could speak freely about AI’s impact on humankind.
