Earth Week plans are underway for a full week of events from April 10-14 on Marshall University’s Huntington campus.
The theme for Earth Week 2023 is Invest in Our Planet. Events throughout the week will include talks, demonstrations and teach-ins; however, the main activities will take place on Wednesday, April 12, on the Memorial Student Center Plaza and Buskirk Field from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., rain or shine.
