Salem State began celebrating Earth Days in 2000. The April event has grown to encompass a judged research poster competition, an art exhibition and competition, and a series of lectures, panels, films and activities. These events bring renowned researchers, activists and officials to campus to engage students, faculty, staff, alumni and the larger community.
Please consider supporting our work by visiting our annual crowdfunding page. Follow Earth Days and SSU Sustainability on Instagram and on Facebook.
