Environmental Task Force
The Spelman College Environmental Task Force is a grassroots, student-run organization established to raise the awareness of the Spelman College community in terms of environmental issues, to provide a greater student voice in planning for conservation at the college, and to promote environmental education as a top priority.
To effectively achieve these goals, the following aims have been set:
- Coordinate student efforts on environmental activities and develop a coherent strategy for meeting future environmental education needs of the college.
- Increase the level of environmental awareness amongst students through lectures and workshops.
- Encourage students to become knowledgeable of environmental legislation and policies that adversely affect our community.
- Undertake outreach activities on campus and within the community by working with other campus and community organizations (such as engaging in efforts to promote environmental equity).
- Make students aware of existing environmentally-related scholarships and fellowships, graduate and professional school programs, career, and research opportunities.
