There will be prizes, live music, readings, and games as we look to pro- mote environmental awareness and sustain- able practices through an atmosphere of cele- bration. An "Earth Day Expe- dition" map will be avail- able to engage students on the event theme and each agency's role regard- ing that theme. The Expe- dition map, along with a "Water Wise" trivia game, will be used to award prizes. Short readings and poems will be presented by faculty members and from Bass on the Campus Quad Stage.
