Each April, the Office of Sustainability celebrates Earth Day by highlighting the campus and community partners who are key stakeholders in Baylor University’s sustainability efforts. This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” reminds us of the impact we can make when we take action together. Join us for events and opportunities all month long—on campus and in our community—as we care for our common home.
Explore the full schedule below and plan how you’ll get involved.
