Photo gallery Chalk it up to Earth Day

April 20, 2022

Earth Week at UW–Madison is an opportunity to celebrate as well as critically examine our relationships with the natural environment — and with each other. The Office of Sustainability coordinated a full slate of activities to bring the focus on protecting the planet. On April 20, students got together to chalk the sidewalks outside of the Historical Society with Earth Day-inspired art, to get campus excited for the day, on Friday, April 22.
