First Green Club Event

MISHAWAKA—Last se­mes­ter, we told you about a new Green Club that was await­ing ap­proval from Stu­dent Coun­cil to get started. This se­mes­ter, they have re­ceived their ap­proval and hosted their in­au­gural event on Feb. 18. 

The ac­tiv­ity was an en­vi­ron­men­tally themed Ka­hoot Trivia Night, com­plete with snacks and fun prizes such as reusable nap­kins and reusable straws.  

Rachel Woods is the cur­rent pres­i­dent of the Green Club. 

“It was not a huge group, but it was big enough,” said Woods. “I was pleased with the turnout.”  

Woods orig­i­nally had the idea to start the club af­ter tak­ing a class with As­sis­tant Pro­fes­sor of Bi­ol­ogy Cas­san­dra May, Ph.D. 

“I was in Dr. May’s en­vi­ron­men­tal sci­ence class last se­mes­ter, and I just thought it was a re­ally eye-open­ing ex­pe­ri­ence,” said Woods. “I talked to Dr. May about start­ing a green club, and we got it rolling.” 

The Green Club is cur­rently work­ing on plan­ning other fun events, in­clud­ing some out­door ac­tiv­i­ties once the weather warms up, and en­cour­ages stu­dents to get in­volved and join them if they are able. 

“If any­body’s in­ter­ested in join­ing or has any great ideas, I would love to hear them and they can con­tact me about that,” said Woods.
