Earth Week and Neumann: A Perfect Fit
Earth Week on a Franciscan campus with a commitment to caring for the environment . . . what a perfect combination. In honor of Mother Earth, the College will host several activities aimed at generating greater understanding of our natural surroundings.
On Tuesday, April 22, at 2:30 p.m., the Students for Environmental Awareness (SEA) club will induct the children at the Child Development Center into their organization as junior SEA members. Afterward, both groups will help with a campus clean-up.
On Wednesday, April 23, at 12:30 p.m., a slide show in Bachmann G60 traces wildlife-oriented adventures across all seven continents. Spiced with humor and political commentary, the show highlights endangered species and global warming.
On Thursday, April 24, a Celebration of the Earth liturgy will take place at noon in the Rose Garden. Also on Thursday, Dr. Robert McMonagle will hold a brown bag lunch discussion in the Bachmann Assisi Room from 12:45 - 1:45 p.m. to discuss his new book Caribou and Conoco:
