Welcome to the home page of the Centenary College Environmental Group.
The goal of this organization is to create a sense of responsibility to our resources and our community. Through promotion of awareness and education of environmental issues, this organization seeks to establish Centenary College as an environmentally positive example for other colleges and universities as well as the state of New Jersey.
We would like to not only get the Centenary campus community involved, but the public community surrounding Hackettstown as well. We would like to offer educational programs on campus as well as local schools, organize environmental events, and develop and initiate programs to promote responsible use of the earth’s resources.
Next Meeting
Our next meeting will be in the fall. Enjoy your summer!
If you are interested in participating, but cannot attend the meetings please contact us. An online archive of our meeting minutes/notes is available here.
