HUHC STUDENTS FOUND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP: STUDENTS FOR A GREENER HOFSTRA (SGH)
The HUHC Living Room was the site for the creation of Students for a Greener Hofstra (SGH). After several fall organizational meetings the group, which includes both HUHC and other Hofstra students, co-sponsored a week-long series of programs and activities highlighting Climate Change. The week included a screening of two new documentaries on climate change: Leonardo DiCaprio's The 11th Hour and The Great Warming by Keanu Reeves and Alanis Morrisette, and panels with local political leaders, scientists, and others with information on global warming. Two SGH students appeared in a newsclip on Hofstra's climate change program with HUHC Associate Dean Donahue and Geology Professor Christa Farmer on the Regional News Network.
That week was also the SGH's recruitment drive and membership went from 12 to 48, and the group has a lot planned for spring '08, in anticipation of Hofstra's Earth Day celebration on April 22. Though it began in HUHC, the SGH is open to anyone at the university, and will soon have its own website. The SGH will have regular meetings every other Thursday, starting February 21, 1008, at 8:45 a.m. in the back of the Student Center cafeteria.
