The University of Michigan (UM) Office of Campus Sustainability (OCS) Earthfest, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., September 22, on the campus Diag, celebrates sustainability initiatives across UM and the surrounding communities while providing an inclusive platform to educate and engage the campus community on opportunities to support sustainability and environmental justice on campus and in our daily lives. Participants can meet a variety of student groups, university departments and local organizations that offer many ways to learn about and engage in sustainability.
