Everyone is invited to join the Marshall community from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, at the Memorial Student Center Plaza and Buskirk Field for a day filled with educational workshops and other activities, and opportunities to make connections.
The following are a few of the opportunities on campus.
Forty student and advocacy groups will set up booths to share their passion for sustainability. Those who stop by can engage in conversations, learn about eco-friendly initiatives and discover ways to make a difference.
Groups will host interactive workshops covering topics such as recycling, energy conservation and sustainable living.
Organizations will have giveaways and raffles. Students and members of the public can grab some eco-conscious swag and enter raffles for a chance to win sustainable goodies.
