After several organizational meetings in the HUHC Living Room last Fall, a group of mostly HUHC students worked with HUHC Associate Dean Neil Donahue to launch a new student group at Hofstra called Students for a Greener Hofstra. The group co-sponsored the events of Hofstra’s program on Climate Change in the first week of the semester, including 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. 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. SGH 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.
