Earth Week 2025
At ESF, we believe that the Earth’s celebration is worthy of an entire week, not just a day!
Starting Monday 4/21, ESF is celebrating its annual Earth Week with a full slate of exciting events to celebrate our planet and call attention to environmental and social justice issues — all planned by our amazing students! No other college celebrates the Earth with as much passion as ESF! In fact, the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County declared Earth Day to also be ESF Day (Tuesday, 4/22) with a proclamation in 2020. Earth Week is a testament to our students’ commitment to improving our world and finding solutions to our most pressing environmental issues.
