About Beyond Earth Day
Beyond Earth Day (BED) is Oregon State University’s annual celebration of people and planet. Held each April near Earth Day (April 22), BED features two weeks of events focused on sustainability, social equity, and community well-being.
In 2026, BED will run from (tbd) to (tbd).
Each year, BED highlights programs that explore the interconnected health of our environment, economy, and society. Events focus on topics like ecosystems, climate justice, health and wellness, equitable economies, and community care, all grounded in the belief that justice for people, animals, and the planet is deeply connected.
