12th Annual Anderton's Earth Week
NMU’s Earth Week is named after the late Dr. John Anderton, a former Department Head of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences (EEGS) and a beloved professor. Students loved Dr. Anderton’s teaching style and his effective communication that helped them understand the natural world around them. Dr. Anderton was passionate about active outdoor learning, a practice that NMU faculty members have carried on. He was passionate about his home in the Upper Peninsula, and especially places like Presque Isle and Little Presque along the shores of Lake Superior.
Dr. Anderton’s legacy lives on at NMU through experiential learning in the Marquette area and through the students’ participation in environmental activism. He embodied many of NMU’s values, such as inclusion and the environment.
