The university’s annual Big Event, a “day of community service and outreach [involving]students, administrators, faculty and staff in an effort to engage and mobilize volunteers throughout the community,” includes opportunities for planting, mulching, and picking up litter.
"No institutions in modern society are better able to catalyze the necessary transition to a sustainable world than universities."
David Orr, Chair, Environmental Studies Program, Oberlin College
