Volunteers will meet at the university’s Cactus Garden outside of Zimmerman Library, and from there, they will be divided into groups to work on projects around campus. “We expect 100-150 volunteers this year,” said Hallee Kells, event coordinator for ASUNM Community Experience. "I am extremely excited for this year's Fall Frenzy," Kells said. "It will be my fifth and last Fall Frenzy, before graduating in May." Activities for the day will include: planting pansies at Duck Pond, Scholes Hall and University House; tracking the renovation on Johnson Field; removing plants and cleaning up at Mechanical Engineering; and replenishing bark mulch at Hokona Zia. After projects are completed at 2 p.m., ASUNM will offer a free lunch on Lower Johnson Field. To volunteer, visit the Web site www.unm.edu/~tce.
