A Virtual Walking Tour of the University's Sculpture Collection
Wednesday, April 13th | 6:30PM | REGISTER
Since our founding in 1871, the arts have held a special place on campus, providing a dynamic outlet for student expression, elevating our minds, and enhancing our space. As our institution has developed into a comprehensive liberal arts university, the university dedicated itself to beautifying an expanding campus with public art. In the last 30 years alone, the university has acquired more than 40 outside sculptures. Join Professor Emeritus of Art and WCU Foundation Director John Baker for an engaging conversation and stroll across campus with Museum Director Michael A. Di Giovine, exploring some of the prominent - and lesser-known - artistic gems that make West Chester University the idyllic and livable campus it is today.

Creating an Environmentally, Economically, and Socially Sustainable WCU
Tuesday, April 19th | 7:00PM | REGISTER
In 2013, West Chester University released its Climate Action Plan (CAP) to address the global climate crisis, foster resiliency and social equity, and bring concepts of environmental, economic, and social sustainability into our academics and operations. The CAP built on decades of activism, has guided our work for eight years, and will keep us focused on improvements to our natural and learning environments long into the future. Learn about WCU's sustainability efforts through a special tour of the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology's exhibition, Earth Day at 50: Lessons for a Sustainable Future with Director Michael A. Di Giovine, then join the Director of WCU's Office of Sustainability, Dr. Bradley Flamm, for an exclusive tour of WCU's Geo-Exchange Pumphouse and a conversation about the commitments WCU has made to energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, zero waste practices, and preparing our students and employees to advocate for sustainability on campus and beyond.
