Oh, spring is in the air, and the students on college campuses are taking FULL advantage of it!

Here's a little recap from 4 of the recent "Student Spotlight" entries we've received over the past week:

- Students at Michigan State University have an AMAZING campaign against the circus coming to their campus

- The student group at the University of Texas held an "Only Zombies Eat Flesh" vegan food giveaway!

- A student at Cal State University in L.A. filmed her own anti-fur public service announcement (view the video here)

- The student group at Brock University held Vegan Taco Day on campus!

As you can tell, there is no shortage of great activism taking place on college campuses this month!

So what did I do this past week? I took some time off and visited Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in DC. Look at this awesome exhibit I found in the Human Development section!

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Students Vote to Keep KFC Off Campus! January 31, 2008

After gathering over 500 petition signatures from their fellow students, the Power of One student animal rights group at Florida Gulf Coast University has successfully passed a bill in their student government stating KFC is NOT welcome on their campus, for reasons of cruelty to animals!

The true beauty of all this is that KFC never even released plans to move onto the campus in the first place. But by the students passing this amazing bill, they have sent a VERY strong signal to the CEOs of KFC that until they clean up their act, they had better stay FAR away from this campus! :) Not to mention, they educated thousands of college students about the abuse KFC suppliers inflict on animals in the process.

Make sure to check out all of the details on the "Student Spotlight" section of our site, written by the student group president, Regina, herself! While you're there, check out some of the other amazing activism reports from college students worldwide. You'll be inspired, I promise!

P.S. - This activism also caught the attention of media outlets ALL across Florida. Check out a video from a local station by clicking on the newspaper clip below:
