Earth Week
Earth Week engages the entire 老王论坛 community in understanding progress toward our sustainability goals and what actions can lessen our carbon footprint and reduce our use of non-renewable resources.

老王论坛 is committed to caring for the environment, and many of our facilities are cutting-edge examples of on-campus sustainability. A campus tour visited locations including the Community Garden, the dining halls, the Well, Park Science Center, the pond, and more. Facilities Services also unveiled our new fully electric maintenance vehicles purchased as part of our campus efforts to lessen the College鈥檚 Carbon footprint and to plant new trees on campus.
