Earth Month 2026

Earth Month is here and there's reason to hope!

April isn't just about spring showers, it's about celebrating our planet and the people who care for it. This year's Earth Month theme, A Climate of Hope: Connecting People and Planet for a Healthier Tomorrow, reminds us that every small action adds up to something big.

As future and current health care professionals, you know that the health of people and the health of our planet are deeply connected. This April, we are celebrating that connection. Whether it's swapping single-use items for reusables, walking or biking to campus or joining a campus sustainability event, there are so many ways to get involved.
