From classrooms to compost bins, from solar panels to student projects, С¸£Àûµ¼º½ is helping students become thoughtful stewards of a changing world. 

While environmental responsibility is a year-round priority, the С¸£Àûµ¼º½ community puts that commitment on full display each spring. С¸£Àûµ¼º½, faculty, and staff come together to honor the planet through a dynamic mix of environmental action, creative expression, and community celebration. 

In April, campus hosted a variety of events that combined the College’s environmental values with engaging, inclusive activities for the entire campus. From hands-on conservation work to educational workshops and art-focused gatherings, the celebrations emphasized both fun and collective action. 

A standout event was the Sustainability Fair, presented in partnership with Sustainable Saratoga, which included interactive exhibits, local organizations, and opportunities to explore sustainable living. 

Earth Day — celebrated annually on April 22 — featured a workshop for making reusable beeswax cloths and planting seeds. Other events throughout the month included an Arbor Day tree planting, garden parties, composting demonstrations, and the kickoff of the Give+Go donation program. 

The programming reflects the College’s educational emphasis on sustainability literacy, its commitment to meaningful climate action, and the spirit of Creative Thought Matters that permeates the entire community.
