COLORADO COLLEGE STUDENTS IN ACTION WITH EnAct

Take Charge staff met with Colorado College students in February to talk about taking charge in their community.

EnAct, the oldest student group on campus, began after Earth Day 1970 and was influenced by the Colorado Springs Ecology Action group. EnAct serves as a forum to raise environmental and social awareness through research, education, and action at CC and within the Colorado Springs community. EnAct is an umbrella under which students can organize and pursue the environmental and social justice projects they value, and provides a community of individuals interested in fellowship and learning from each other. In the past, EnAct projects have included Earth Day/Week, developing the college's present recycling program, taking trips to research regional environmental issues, presenting speakers and slideshows to educate students on current environmental issues, and instituting the Timothy Linnemann Memorial Lecture on the Environment. EnAct is open to all people with an interest in the environment.
