BSOS Celebrates Earth Day with Sustainability Plan

The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences proudly celebrates Earth Day, April 22, by launching its first Sustainability Plan. The BSOS Sustainability Plan complements the University’s Climate Action Plan to help the University of Maryland become a national model of a green university. It is the first plan of its kind at the college level at UMD, and was designed to serve as a guide for other colleges to join BSOS in this effort to improve the sustainability of the campus and community as a whole.

This plan was drafted by the BSOS Sustainability Task Force, which was convened by the Dean’s Office with the support and encouragement of the Dean’s Student Advisory Council and interested faculty and staff in October 2013. Click here to read the plan and to offer your comments and feedback.

BSOS and the University community also will celebrate Earth Day with a special event hosted by the Student Government Association and featuring remarks by Dean John Townshend. Join them from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 22 in the Adele H. Stamp Student Union, Colony Ballroom. The event features a raffle for prizes, souvenirs, a community mural project, live music, a free smoothie bar, and much more.
