The Group
The Thursday Night Group is a weekly social gathering dedicated to discussing and acting against global warming. Students concerned about carbon emissions, energy policy and paradigm shift gather on Thursday nights in Dodd living room at 10:00. The group was founded by Morgan Goodwin and Justin Bates in order to increase the scope and presence of environmentally oriented groups on campus while at the same time including a more diverse group of people. The relaxed atmosphere and social setting make the group more of a study break and repriev from the stress of other meetings than a meeting itself. Beer also helps.
