Celebrating Earth Day is a UNC Charlotte favorite tradition. Due to coronavirus stay-at-home orders, the annual campus cleanup isn’t possible.  Students, faculty and staff can, however, scan take pics or videos of themselves cleaning up their own neighborhoods and post them using #unccrecycles and #earthday2020.In recognition of Earth Day 2020, here are some of the ways UNC Charlotte protects the environment:

Academic Affairs and the Office of Sustainability are collaborating to expand the University’s annual Earth Month celebration to “Earth Semester” in recognition of this year’s 50th Earth Day.Traditionally observed April 22, Earth Day has been celebrated since 1970. In recent years, the University’s Earth Month expanded to increase awareness beyond one day. Last year marked the largest event yet and featured an Earth Day Festival in Belk Plaza.

UNC Charlotte encompasses more than 1,000 acres and 100-plus buildings, and that’s just the main campus. It takes a lot to keep it functioning well, not to mention beautiful, for the University’s students, employees and visitors. For eight years, Nathaniel “Lee” Snodgrass has made sure it all works together. 

UNC Charlotte, in partnership with the Charlotte Fire Department (CFD), will conduct a small-scale drill on Friday, Nov. 15, at North Deck. The drill will begin around 1 p.m. and will continue for approximately four hours.The drill will be an initial testing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) developed between the University and CFD on how to respond to on-campus fire emergencies. The drill will allow CFD to test important fire-suppression equipment and capabilities on campus to ensure they are in good working order.
