Honor Slaughtered Animals: Get a Free Memorial Plaque at Your School!

Millions of cows, pigs, chickens, fish, and other animals have been killed for college campus meals—but now, you can help make a change while honoring those animals with a memorial plaque from PETA at your school. 🤍🌹

Students and faculty at Pitzer College in Southern California and Wesleyan University in Connecticut have taken advantage of this unique opportunity. Pitzer became the first school in the country to install an animal memorial plaque when PETA sponsored the installation of the Pitzer Animal Recognition Memorial outside their campus dining hall. At Wesleyan, over 100 students, faculty members, and alumni are calling on the school to install a similar plaque on their campus!

Working with PETA to get a plaque (at no cost to your school) can turn an ordinary trip to the dining hall into a life-changing moment of clarity. A March 2026 study found that simple prompts—like putting images of living animals next to meat-based dishes—can boost meat-free meal choices by 22 percent. 🤯 Animals are counting on us to make these choices and inspire others to do the same.

Humans and other animals are the same in all the important ways. Cows form lifelong friendships, hens teach calls to their chicks before they’ve even hatched, pigs love to cuddle, and some fish “sing” to each other to communicate. Yet, the animal agriculture industry forces them to live and die in agony.

If you want to do more than write papers about the issues you care about, this project will give you the chance to turn classroom convos into real-world action. Along the way, you can sharpen your writing, persuasion, public speaking, organizing, and advocacy skills, build relationships across your campus, and potentially earn media attention for your efforts. It’s a rare opportunity to leave a lasting mark on your campus.

The #1 way to help animals is to get people to eat vegan, and a memorial plaque helps connect those dots—hit us up here to get one at your school!

Each person who goes vegan saves nearly 200 animals every year, reduces their carbon footprint, and lowers their risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Going vegan gives each of us the power to create change—no approval, permission, or policy needed—and we’re here to help. 🫶
