Local Earth Month Events and Activities
Another April means another Earth Month! To celebrate at Emerson, Emerson Green Collective will be holding an Earth Day Fair on April 22 in the Loft in Walker (connected to the Lion’s Den). From 5:00 to 7:00 pm, there will be tables hosted by campus organizations, free food, sustainable activities, and entertainment. The event is open to all students, faculty, and staff.
