More than just Leonardo Dicaprio and a day at the beach.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Earth Day, and the University will host a full week of events to mark the occasion. The Survival Center, located in Suite 1 of the EMU, serves as the campus nerve-center for environmental and humanitarian action during Earth Week.
A series of lectures, workshops and environmental action will take place throughout the week, culminating with Earth Day on Saturday. Contact the Survival Center at 346-0620, or OSPIRG at 346-4377 for more information on Earth Week events.
