Join us as we gather to remember and celebrate Tux (“Tuxie”), our beloved campus cat and friend to so many.Tux recently turned 22 years old. Born in spring 2004 at Cliff’s Farm Market in Metamora, he went on to become a true fixture of the land lab and campus community. Over the years, he earned many unofficial titles—Supervisor of Rodent Control, The Dark Lord, and “Best Kitty in the Universe”—but most importantly, he was a steady, comforting presence to generations of students and staff.
We invite you to come together to share stories, memories, and a moment of gratitude for the joy he brought into our lives.
📅 Date: Thursday, May 14th
