What’s Happening This Week (April 26-30)?
 
Whether it was a guided tour through Ashley Schiff Preserve, sustainable food demonstrations, environmental booths on the academic mall or the return of the much-awaited annual rubber duck race, last week’s EarthStock was chock-full of fun and educational opportunities. We hope you were able to take part. We’ll be sharing a slideshow and videos of all the happenings soon.

In the meantime … here are some concerts, events and activities to explore this week, starting tomorrow (Tuesday, April 26) and culminating in the return of SBU’s time-honored Roth Regatta this Friday, the 29th, and our first Community Art Crawl on Saturday.
