13 Days of Celebrating the Earth

The 13 Days of Celebrating the Earth were a big success. From farmers markets and a celebration of campus trees to a health and wellbeing fair and a day of reflection, the 13 Days offered something for everyone to celebrate. Did you miss some of the days’ events? You can sample some highlights below and check out the photos in our flickr gallery.

We would like to thank all of our 13 Days partners for their collaboration on this series of events: Campus Recreation, the StArt Gallery, Landscaping Services, Residence Life & Housing, WFU Campus Kitchen, Dr. Weithaus’ religion class, Dr. Matteo’s sociology class, Dr. Lord’s biology class, the Office of the Chaplain, ZSR Library, Human Resources, and the WFU Center for Energy, Environment, and Sustainability.

Students learn about the diverse growth of native plants in the To Hi meditation garden as part of the rest and relaxation activities on Day 5.

Students enjoyed the opportunity to take a free yoga class on the Quad as part of the emphasis on Health and Wellbeing on Day 7.

Environmental thought leader Bill McKibben lectures on 350 – The Most Important Number in the World as the keynote speaker for the 13 Days of Celebrating the Earth on April 26.
