Earth Week
Earth Week at Penn is taking place April 18 - 24, 2026. Earth Week presents an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to engage in cross-disciplinary events designed to educate and foster engagement. This year’s theme is Inspire Informed Action – to spark thoughtful decisions that lead to meaningful environmental change. Earth Week elevates our collective impact by encouraging involvement from all Schools and Centers at Penn. For more information, please contact Noah Swistak, Sustainability Manager, at swistak@upenn.edu.
Interested in hosting an event during Earth Week? Students, faculty and staff across Penn are welcome to do so. Those hosting events are encouraged to use the Earth Week logos and graphic assets in communications materials, and to submit events to the Earth Week calendar.
Earth Week happens every April during the week of Earth Day and presents cross-disciplinary events to educate and inspire action around environmental stewardship, climate, and nature-based solutions.
