Human Ecology Unplugged

Cornell Unplugged is a new initiative to encourage students, faculty and staff to be as unplugged as possible throughout the week of Sept. 14-20. As part of this initiative, we will be hosting Human Ecology Unplugged. Review the series of events, activities, and opportunities to put down your phone, close your laptop and connect with others or yourself. 

Visit the Human Ecology Unplugged table in the Commons to:

• Grab a board game, puzzle, conversation starters, coloring pages, or other activities and unplug for a moment.
• Book Drop - If you have books you would like to donate for others would enjoy, drop them off by the Unplugged table in the Commons. These books will be used to create a future CHE Book Swap area. This idea came out of the New Student Humac-a-thon!
• Pick up and complete the CHE Centennial Scavenger Hunt to be placed in a drawing for a prize!
• Explore the Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence exhibit in HEB.
