The University of Notre Dame's Golden Dome (Union Building in center of campus administrative buildings) and the mural ("Touchdown Jesus") on the Hesburgh Main Library building will have their illuminating spotlights go dark for one hour on Saturday March 31, 2012 to participate in the International "Earth Hour."
The lights will be turned out for the limited time period of 8:30 until 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time -- the observance is part of an international effort to show support for action on climate change and environmental awareness.
Students (undergraduate and graduate) also are being encouraged to turn off their lights in dorm rooms across the campus Halls as well as in other buildings for that specific hour on the last day of March 2012!
