Inspired by his students’ desire to help the environment and community, Phi Theta Kappa honors program coordinator and political science Professor Paul Frank is helping coordinate the only major eco-conscious event on campus to coincide with Earth Week.
This year’s festivities take place Tuesday and Wednesday, April 22 and 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Quad. Phi Theta Kappa and Student Leadership & Development, under the advisement of Frank, will offer the City College community an education on what going green is all about.
The two-day event is focused around International Earth Day, this year on April 22, and will feature vendors that will have displays on the importance of green farming in the community. The honors society, students, organizations, faculty and outside communities have gathered to coordinate and educate through the week.
The event is seen as “human, environmental, cultural—we are focusing on environmental,” said Frank.
The event began eight years ago with a student who wanted to involve the student body in going green on campus, according to English Professor Anna Joy, who helped coordinate the first Earth Day-related event, along with her students.
Avneet Singh is helping coordinate the activities with Phi Theta Kappa. As a bioengineering major, she has an interest in the concepts underlying Earth Day.

“Everyone is welcome to participate,” said Frank.
Green organizations will be on campus to showcase green technology, such as organic farming techniques and reduced energy appliances.
Frank said he has gained inspiration from seeing students do what they want to do and making a difference in earth’s ecology.
“Personally, I have three children and want to make sure they have a safe and healthy environment,” said Frank. “Students are learning ways of maintaining and sustaining our environment…what they can do to protect the planet.”
