CSE’s 2024 Fall Green Day

By Faculty and Staff, Students

The Center for Sustainability and the Environment’s (CSE) Fall 2024 Green Day is fast approaching! We are looking for those interested in tabling at the event. Please fill out the attached form if you are interested in tabling. 

This year’s Fall Green Day will be on October 30th, from 5:30-7pm in the KC Stack. This is a great opportunity to share what your organization does for sustainability and the environment but also to promote upcoming events. 

CSE Fall Green Day acts as an environmental and sustainability fair for students to learn about jobs, projects, programs, and service and research opportunities. Students are also encouraged to present their own research and projects. We are so proud that Albion College has been named a Green College by The Princeton Review. This Green Day, let’s celebrate our current and future dedication to sustainability on campus and in the community.

“Blessing of the Animals” Event Today, 12:00 to 2:00

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Join Albion College Spiritual Life and local clergy for a Blessing of the Animals event today (Friday, October 4th) from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. We will gather on First United Methodist Church’s west-side lawn, near the arch off Oswego Street. We will have a short service of blessing at noon, drop-in blessing time until 2:00, a fundraising/info table for the Friends of Albion’s Animals rescue, and a memorial craft. A Blessing of the Animals service is a beautiful way to acknowledge our interdependence with the rest of nature/Creation and celebrate our animal friends.

Well-behaved animals who are up-to-date on their required vaccinations are welcome to attend this event and receive a blessing in-person. If your animal companion cannot attend safely, please bring something to represent them for blessing instead, like a picture. See detailed guidelines here. If you have any questions, email Assistant Director for Spiritual Wellness Laura Todd.
