04/07/2026

Did you know the date of Earth Day, April 22, was chosen with college students in mind? Falling between spring break and finals exams, organizers wanted to maximize student participation.

But at SUNY Cortland, sustainability and the protection of the environment are celebrated for the entire month of April.

Events include information tables, film screenings, lectures, opportunities to volunteer, and more.

"This year we are celebrating the intersection of the environment with human health, biodiversity, our food system, water usage and much more," said Megan Swing, the university's energy and sustainability engagement coordinator. "No matter your interests, there will be an Earth Month event for you!"
