Cincinnati State Technical and Community College is continuing its environmentally-themed activities this month with an “Earth Jam’’ on April 29.
The Earth Jam – sponsored for the 12th straight year by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing, North America, Inc. – will run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Cincinnati State’s main campus.
Cincinnati State Environmental Engineering Technology faculty, working with industry representatives and members of the campus Environmental Club, will organize display booths and conduct hands-on activities that focus on local environmental issues and solutions.
The event will also feature:
- Music by the Sunstroked Serenade.
- A free plant from the Environmental Club’s booth for persons wearing one of this year’s Cincinnati State Earth Day T-shirts. (The Horticulture Club will be selling plants at this event as well.)

- Games, prizes and fun
The event will be held outdoors in the courtyard of the Advanced Technology & Learning Center (indoors in the lobbies and lounges of the ATLC if it rains).
