The primary goal of the EVERGREEN group is to raise environmental awareness on campus and in the community, and to establish the Centenary College as an beacon in environmental stewardship through goal-oriented campaigns, activism, education, and the yearly presentation of Earth Day. The group is looking for new members who care about the environment and want to join forces in our efforts for sustainability on campus. Our meetings are every Monday, at 4pm, in Trevorrow 22. If you like to join us and have not done so yet, please come to our meetings or email Ally Warren or Holli Eckerd: warrena@centenarycollege.edu or eckerdh@centenarycollege.edu.
