When she applied for the 2020 Annual Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Awards, named by the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference, Stan State Sustainability Coordinator Wendy Olmstead wasn’t looking for glory.

Rather, she was hoping for an opportunity to present at the organization’s annual conference, to share the Stan State Sustainability/Campus as a Living Lab Faculty Learning Communities that she and Shradha Tibrewal, director, Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, had started.


While Stanislaus State Art Department Chair Roxanne Robbin was attending a conference of the CSU Entertainment Alliance, learning how to prepare students for one of California’s major industries, Assistant Professor Shannon Stevens was working to expand Stan State’s journalism minor to include digital and graphic art in the curriculum.


Recognizing that Stan State serves some of the region’s most vulnerable students who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Stanislaus Community Foundation has awarded a $15,000 grant to the University. 

The funds are intended to support students experiencing the medical, social and economic impact of the global crisis with financial support. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If not a once-in-a-lifetime event, the projected blooming of the corpse flower in the University greenhouse is a rare treat.
