Photo Galleries   Earth Month Festival April is Earth Month, but Emory got an early start at the Earth Month Festival on Tuesday, March 29, with activities ranging from baking s'mores in a solar-powered oven to making smoothies in a bike-powered blender. View more photos and the full Earth Month calendar. Wonderful Wednesday Sunny skies greeted attendees at Wonderful Wednesday festivities March 30. The tradition harkens back to when Emory didn't have classes on Wednesday. While the mid-week break lasted only from 1967 to 1982, Wonderful Wednesday was revived in 2006 as a student-led weekly gathering featuring activities from a variety of groups.
