In celebration of the 51st Earth Day, North Hennepin Community College and Bemidji State University invite you to join us for a virtual week-long summit. Beginning Monday, April 19 through Friday, April 23, we will explore and honor our relationship with the land, our communities, and each other through a series of engaging presentations, discussions, film screenings, art, and more. With an emphasis on institutional and systemic change, be inspired by the diverse voices striving for a more just future for all our human and non-human relatives. Caring for Mother Earth is caring for all of us.
