About the Environmental Club                                            Founded in the Spring of 2023, the Webster Environmental Club is a student organization dedicated to community building and environmental awareness. Its past initiatives have included hiking trips and the Fall 2024 Environmentalist Conference. 

This year, the club is revitalizing the campus garden behind Pearson House, creating an inviting outdoor space where students can gather.
