April 22 is Earth Day

First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, whose year-round mission is to broaden, diversify and activate the environmental movement worldwide.

In light of Earth Day and its commitment to sustainability, Student Senate arranged to have trees planted on the Eckley Quad and organized a tree planting picnic on April 19. Rain moved the picnic indoors, but the picnic menu was catered in the Joslin Atrium – burgers, hot dogs, chips, brownies, lemonade, and potato salad.
