Focusing on global environmental sustainability issues, the Environmental Action Committee is the oldest student environmental club on campus.  Each year EAC chooses different issues on which to focus and conduct educational outreach projects.  From diversifying the environmental movement to the effects of factory farming, EAC covers a wide range of topics based on student interest.
