CU celebrates Earth Day at Turner Log Cabin Park By Linda Waggener CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University celebrated Earth Day April 22, 2014, at the Turner Log Cabin Park where CU students, guests, faculty and staff were joined by students from Campbellsville Independent Schools for the traditional planting of trees and flowers. President Michael V. Carter said, "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's grace." He thanked each participant, from the young visiting elementary students to platform guests and CU students, faculty, staff and guests who contribute to the continuation university work of environmental stewardship. Carter introduced LG&E KU energy guest Rhonda Rose who spoke of the corporation's environmental mission and their support of Clay Hill Memorial Forest. Dr. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, and his wife, Cathy Pence Chowning, made a donation to Green Minds. He said, "Earth Day has special a meaning with an emphasis on stewardship from a Christian perspective." Chowning introduced guest Dr. Matthew Sleeth, noted creation care/earth stewardship speaker, writer and head of the Blessed Earth organization. Sleeth made brief comments and was also the speaker at the Kentucky Heartland Institute on Public Policy (KHIPP) event that evening. Tony Young, mayor of Campbellsville, and Eddie Rogers, Taylor County judge/executive, participated with the reading of an Earth Day proclamation from the city and county. International education students (getting names) spoke on CU's Green Minds organization which has doubled in membership and activity in the past year. Dr. Richard Kessler, associate professor of biology and environmental studies Program Coordinator at Campbellsville University, organized two additional earth stewardship activities announced at the event. On Wednesday evening the first Earth Week movie night was held in Mobley Theater, "Life of Pi," with free popcorn; and Friday, April 25, an inaugural Earth Week Hike was scheduled at Clay Hill Memorial Forest. The events were co-sponsored by Campbellsville University's Green Minds, the Environmental Ethics class and Student Government (SGA). - Linda Waggener, Campbellsville University This story was posted on 2014-04-23 14:14:48
