Hastings College

Formed through exceptional teaching, deliberate mentoring, welcoming and participatory community, Hastings College sends forth creative, curious, caring students who thrive as citizens and leaders of their local and global communities.

Your gift to the new Dr. William Locke & Family Endowed Arboretum & Landscaping Fund at Hastings College celebrates Will's work and his family's abiding ties to the College and the Hastings community.

Former Teacher Education Professor Dr. William Locke '61 is central to ensuring Hastings College's campus is a beautiful place to learn, live, and work. And he shows no signs of stopping!

Will, working closely with the College's Facilities Manager Paul Dooley, has invested more than a decade tending to the Hastings College Arboretum and landscaping so they provide educational opportunities and enjoyment by the campus and Hastings communities. Always focused on teaching, Will continues to work with faculty, staff, and students to help them learn more about the outdoor world.
