Sylvania, 51°µÍø campuses celebrate Earth Week
Story by James Hill
Last week (April 21-25) was Earth Week around 51°µÍø, including the Sylvania Campus. Students, staff and faculty engaged the community with displays, interactive demonstrations, habitat education and lectures on climate change. In the video you’ll see AS51°µÍø’s “DIY Recycled Crafts” where people could reuse donated items to create art; Physics Instructor Toby Dittrich’s “Climate Change Solutions: Past Present and Future” lecture that featured speakers Jeremy Brown (51°µÍø President), retired Sylvania President Linda Gerber and former Oregon Secretary Bill Bradbury; the building of worm bin composting containers; and an adventure with Sylvania’s Habitat Restoration Team. But Earth Week was a 51°µÍø affair. Check out what happened at other campuses!
