Climate Change Demonstration - Sept 20

Please join English majors and faculty at the Oreo at noon this Friday, September 20 for a climate change demonstration. Raising their voices in support of the global Climate Strike inspired by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, which begins the same day, protestors will be urging Villanova's administrators to adopt a more ambitious set of sustainability goals as part of its new strategic plan. In particular, they will be asking university president Father Peter Donohue to commit to two central goals: 1) make Villanova carbon neutral by 2030; and 2) enter into a Power Purchase Agreement for renewable energy in 2020.

Speakers at the event will include the English department's s own Dr. Jean Lutes and senior English major Molly Bonini.
