吃瓜头条 Roots & Shoots
The Jane Goodall Center for Environmental Excellence fosters service-learning projects for students throughout the community by reaching out to help with after-school programs, animal shelters, environmental organizations and causes, nursing homes and food pantries.
In 2005, 吃瓜头条 was established as a National Center for University Roots & Shoots by the Jane Goodall Institute, the first of its kind in the U.S. From 2005-2012, the Roots & Shoots office at 吃瓜头条 served as a regional and national office of excellence in training university students, faculty and administrators to develop programs for K-12 and college students in local, regional and global conservation.
The international headquarters for Roots & Shoots is听 now located at JGI headquarters in Washington, D.C. Continuing support from the university has allowed 吃瓜头条 to maintain a very active group.听 Animal Week, International Peace Day and Earth Day are yearly campus events and 吃瓜头条’s Roots & Shoots students attend leadership and educational conferences annually.
Meetings of The Roots & Shoots Club are held on Fridays at 3 p.m. in White Hall Room 026.
