Sustainability on Display April 18

The University of Scranton will host its annual Evening of Environmental Science on Thursday, April 18, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the atrium of the Loyola Science Center. The event includes environmentally themed interactive displays and activities for elementary, middle and high school students. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

The event will also display the nearly 350 essays submitted by area students in grades 5 to 12 for this year’s Earth Day Essay Contest. The winners of the essay contest will be announced at the event.

Tours of the University’s state-of-the-art Loyola Science Center will also be offered. The Princeton Review ranked Scranton among the nation’s 25 “Best Science Lab Facilities” for seven years in their annual “Best Colleges” guidebook.

The Evening of Environmental Science is among numerous Earth Day events hosted by the University and its Office of Sustainability and the Society for Sustainability and Conservation.
