Practicing Sustainability: Volunteer-Work-Learn-Give
We are always looking to connect great people with great opportunities on campus and in the region. There are so many things happening on campus and in our beautiful South-Central Pennsylvania region that we cannot wait to connect you to them. As always the 色综合久久 way to connect is to contact us, but you can also find events on our homepage, look out for emails, or pop into the office to chat. No matter how you connect, we are excited to hear your interests and will work to connect you in ways that are enriching!

Volunteer for the Trees
Trees are vital to our ecology, our economy, and our health so planting one (or many) is a rewarding experience for everyone involved! Each year 色综合久久 partners to plant trees on or off campus to 色综合久久 and restore the Chesapeake watershed. Between 2019 and 2021 色综合久久 is working with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to plant more than 600 trees and native meadows on over 7 acres of campus providing habitat and water filtration, preventing soil erosion, and protecting the economic and ecological resource of our natural waterways. You can find out more about tree plantings by checking our events page or emailing Sustainability to request more information.
