ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ is celebrating Earth Week 2025 with a lineup of hands-on, sustainability-focused events aimed at engaging students, employees, and the community in climate action, resource conservation, and environmental stewardship.
From planting native species to promoting sustainable fashion, Earth Week at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ reflects the college’s deep commitment to reducing its environmental impact and fostering a culture of sustainability. Events include:
- Monday, April 21, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. – Tree and native plant installation (south of Building 30)
- Tuesday, April 22, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. – Plastics recycling drop-off for #2, #4, and #5 plastics (Building 10)

To support the Clothing Swap, ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ is accepting donations of clean, gently used clothing at the Titan Pantry & Closet (Center Building, Room 153) between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., now through April 24.
This week of action coincides with ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½â€™s recent selection as a finalist for the 2025 EWEB Greenpower Grant. If awarded, the $50,000 grant will help fund a new rooftop solar array on the college’s Health and Wellness Building and launch an online solar monitoring platform for educational use. The project is a key part of ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½â€™s Climate Action Plan and goal to become carbon neutral by 2050.
