A brief description of the event(s):
OSU hosts many student focused events around sustainability throughout the year. Two of the largest are Earth Week, and the Energy Civil War.
Earth Week is the largest such event and is the week of Earth Day in April. There are many events (30+) that happen within the span of the week and are focused on all aspects of sustainability (http://recycle.oregonstate.edu/EarthDay/eventCalendar.cfm). The largest and most noticeable event is the community fair, which typically has 40-50 groups present and is a great opportunity for groups to outreach to students and others as well as network with other groups.
The Energy Civil War is a competition between the University of Oregon and Oregon State University to see which school can produce the most human-generated renewable energy on exercise equipment connected to the power grid. The competition runs during the week of the football civil war.
