UTEP is proud to present the 2009 Earth Week to the El Paso community as we are celebrating the Earth during the week of April 20th through the 25th.In order to bring environmental awareness to our city we are kicking off the week with a special concert by Nancy Green at the Mine Shaft located in UTEP's Union Second Floor.

     During Earth Week, UTEP will have several events ranging from a Bhutanese Temple created entirely from used water bottles to local music acts playing on Earth Day. The entire week of Earth Week will be capped off with a special plant sale hosted in the UGLC. UTEP hopes to show just how "green" we are as an institution, and wants others to follow in our footsteps as we are not only preparing our students for the business world but for the global community all around us.

     We ask everyone to take a look at our calendar of events for Earth Week to see what we have in store, as there will be something for everyone no matter what your interests may be. We also look forward to seeing you here on campus for your support and we look forward to making this university as eco-friendly as possible.
