In the Name A Tree Competition, students submit potential names for a certain tree on campus, which will then be voted on by the student body. Whoever's name earns the most votes wins, and the tree will officially be unofficially named by the Sustainability Stewards. Whoever comes up with the winning name wins pride and a $25 REI gift card. Will you come up with the next winning name? Will you leave your mark on campus? Will you win pride and a prize? There's only one way to find out...
