Students take part in events that will raise campus and local community residents' awareness of our local environmental issues. The events will include, but not limited to Campus to Community, Earth Day, Annual Stream Clean Up, Campus Clean-Up, Family Fair, Dads' and Moms' weekends, Homecoming, etc. Students get involved in information dissemination activities about local environmental efforts. Students use work of mouth to inform their colleagues and others about the Environmental Action Program, local environmental service learning opportunities, and how they can be involved. Individuals or groups can participate.
Scheduling is flexible and negotiated between the student participant and the older adult.
