WCU Students Host a Celebration for the West Chester Green Team

by Lucinda Bauman

One week after Earth Day, seven women from Dr. Kanan Sawyer’s Event Planning class at West Chester University hosted a celebration for the West Chester Green Team. The event boasted bright green decorations, fun activities, and inviting event hosts. Attendees made their way around Sykes Patio to the different stations.

The first station was the plant pot decorating, where all were welcome to take home their own pot and seedling. Next, the attendees played a couple of rounds of sustainability trivia. After that, guests dug into some delicious Earth Day themed cupcakes.

Finally, the last station hosted a wall that attendees plastered with sticky notes that explained their ways of staying sustainable!

While the event lasted from just 10:00 – 11:00 am, it did an incredible job of raising awareness of sustainability practices and the West Chester Green Team to many West Chester students and residents alike.

Thank you Dr. Kanan Sawyer and your students for this exceptional event!
