In support of Winston-Salem State University’s sustainability initiatives, the Office of Marketing and Communications launched its “First Annual Generation Green Festival,” a three-day celebration that began April 20 and ended on Earth Day, April 22.
Festival events will included “think green” workshops on environmental literacy and a forum on “The Clean House Effect”; a “Trash-2-Treasures” art contest featuring works by Carver High School students; a “Snack and a Movie” environmental film festival; a “Spring Into Green” fashion show (sponsored by Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina); and a “Go Green” free raffle (sponsored by Whole Foods, Body & Soul, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Village Tavern, Star Bucks and other businesses in the Triad).
The motto for WSSU’s first Generation Green Festival: “A culture that is earth-friendly, preserves humanity for generations.”

OMC Intern Bridget Armstrong helped coordinate the three-day event.
