Students Experience EarthFest Festivities

Home Celebrating Stories Students Experience EarthFest Festivities

The Student Government Association (SGA), with support from Residence Life, the Residence Hall Association (RHA), and the Office of Sustainability presented the annual EarthFest celebration. The festival promoted campus sustainability work and allowed students to explore opportunities for involvement with the SustainableUMD Network.

At the Office of Sustainability tent, students provided feedback for a free succulent. Students responded to three different prompts: 

  • How are you involved with campus sustainability?
  • What questions do you have for the Office of Sustainability?
  • What idea do you have for a Sustainability Fund Project?

After earning their succulent, students had the option to create a DIY macrame plant holder with upcycled t-shirts at the SustainableUMD Outreach Bike. SustainableUMD Ambassadors led students through the activity. 

Did you miss us at EarthFest? Consider how you would respond to the feedback prompts and subscribe to the SustainableUMD newsletter to learn about the latest sustainability events on campus.
