Honor Your Roots

Commencement Saplings

In celebration of the class of 2022 and our commitment to sustainability, we are offering a unique gift to remember their UNC Asheville roots with a commencement sapling

These oak and redbud saplings were grown by our students from the very trees they sat under, walked through, or perhaps climbed on campus. As long-standing symbols of strength, adaptability, and wisdom, trees embody the character of the class of 2022. Trees also represent generosity by providing shade, food, habitat, and beauty. In that spirit, all proceeds from your $20 sapling order will support student scholarships. 

Saplings will be available for pick-up at the graduation ceremony on May 7th but must be purchased in advance. 

Purchase your sapling here.
