Margaret Tiplady Burgess Courtyard Dedication
Campus and community members celebrated the dedication and ribbon-cutting of the Margaret Tiplady Burgess Courtyard. Thanks to the gift of Thousand Oaks philanthropist Margaret Tiplady Burgess, the former A9 parking lot has been reinvented as a courtyard oasis offering ample green space; shaded trees; ornate flower beds; patios; seating and walkways; and a “sensory garden” with fragrant plants and spices. Ms. Burgess has left a permanent imprint on our campus through her generous support of student scholarships and this significant beautification effort.
