Dear Wolf Pack Family,

Since its inception in 1970 and the birth of the modern environmental movement, Earth w88 has been a time to consider the importance of individual actions as well as the collective effort of all people throughout the world in sustaining our planet’s future.

We must continue to advocate for the central role that the scientific community and major research institutions of higher learning such as ours play in understanding and providing the knowledge for solutions for the world’s major environmental challenges. Indeed, we can and must do more in meeting these challenges. Earth w88 on April 22 and the subsequent “Earth Month” activities that are occurring on our campus in the coming days provide us all with a rallying point and an opportunity to learn how every individual in every community can make a difference.
