College at Florham ‘Goes Green’
For the second straight year, College at Florham “goes green” as it celebrates Green Day on Monday, April 14. A variety of activities highlighting the University’s venture into environmental sustainability are planned for the afternoon affair — from student presentations and workshops to an address from FDU President J. Michael Adams and a reception and award ceremony.
Among the presentations are an investigative report on “Eco-friendly Organizations: Communicating ‘Green,’” posters highlighting student research on greener organic chemistry experiments that will be incorporated into the laboratory curriculum and samples of green poetry. Students will likewise create interactive and informative multimedia presentations to generate greater awareness about being green. The University community will also be treated to a performance by the Melodies of Heaven Gospel Choir. The presentations will be held in the Student Center and in Hennessy Hall (Mansion) from 1 to 3 p.m.

The presentations will be followed by workshops in the Orangerie at the College at Florham Library and in Hartman Lounge, Hennessy Hall (Mansion), from 3 to 5 p.m. Penny Jones, recycling education specialist, Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, Mendham, N.J., will conduct a workshop on the details of recycling; Monika Hannemann, coordinator, Discovery Garden and Family Programs, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, will discuss “Everything You Need to Know About Composting”; and chemistry students Dana Patterson and Tim Lamb, biology student Danielle Odom and history student Doug Lally will talk about “Biodiesel: From Gourmet Dining to the Tractors in Facilities.”
