Rollins Celebrates Earth Day 2005

April 25, 2005

Eco Rollins and the Department of Environmental Studies sponsored an Earth Day 2005 Celebration on Thursday, April 21. The event featured live music, tie-dyeing, information booths, a dunk tank and more. Professor of Environmental Studies Bruce Stephenson was dunked in the dunk tank. The evening concluded with a showing of the Oscar-winning motion picture Erin Brockovich.

"It was cool, especially for freshmen who didn't realize that we did anything environmental," said organizer Sara Shaw '07.

The event was mentioned in "Earth Day grows beyond grass-roots 'green'" in the Friday, April 22 issue of the Orlando Sentinel.

Founded in 1885, Rollins College is Florida's oldest recognized college, and is consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of "America's best colleges." Its Crummer Graduate School of Business was recently ranked by Forbes magazine among the nation's top 25 regional business schools.
