The name and a brief description of each student group:

EARTH - WCU's student environmental organization - has since 1970 worked to develop campus and community awareness of the environment and each person's responsibility to protect it. Initiatives such as the annual Earth Day Festival, collaboration with the Environmental Council, Quad articles, and visits to other student groups are among EARTH's activities.

Recently, EARTH joined community members for a High Street rally against global warming that included handing out environmental literature and energy-efficient light bulbs. The group's current project is a paper-recycling campaign in the residence halls. Andrew Barret is EARTH's president.
