On Thursday, April 27th, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, we will recognize PERC's newly designated 2022 Campus Sustainability Champions: college and university students, faculty, and staff from across the Commonwealth who have advocated for action on climate change, for environmental justice, for food sovereignty, and for the health and well-being of people and the planet. Bring a friend and your favorite locally brewed, fermented, steeped, or pure beverage and enjoy the positivity!
We will also be joined by keynote speaker, Eric Pallant, the Christine Scott Nelson '73 Endowed Professor of Environmental Science & Sustainability at Allegheny College.
