Earth Week Schedule of Events
All of the events (lectures and films) will take place on Bellevue Community College's main campus (at 3000 Landerholm Circle SE). Unless otherwise noted, lectures are 50 minutes and will take place in Room C130 (BCC Cafeteria) and displays and demonstrations will be set up in the Student Union Building (campus map).
