UC Receives Millennium Environmental Award
A message from the UCOP Sustainability Manager, Matt St.Clair:
I write with very exciting news! This Saturday in Santa Monica, UC President Yudof will accept the Millenium Environmental Award from Global Green USA alongside fellow awardees Lisa Jackson, the U.S. EPA Administrator, and producer and director James Cameron. UC is receiving this award for our sustainability program that you all have made possible, so this is really an award for every person on this list. The UCOP communications office produced a wonderful 90-second video which will be shown as President Yudof receives the award. The video can be watched by linking to the article below. Those of you who have been working toward this with me since the UC Go Solar student campaign in the 2002-2003 academic year will find the message of the video especially gratifying. To think that the U.S. EPA Administrator, many UC Regents, and other L.A. and California leaders will all see this video and learn about all that we've accomplished and have committed to do in the coming years is very rewarding.

SB Mayor Visits UCSB
On Friday, May 28, Santa Barbara City Mayor Helene Schneider and City Energy Manager Jim Dewey visited the UCSB campus for a sustainability tour led by LEED Program Manager Jordan Sager. In addition to visiting the Manzanita wetlands restoration, campus dining, and Bren Hall, she also sat in on a portion of the Chancellor's Sustainability Committee meeting and met with the Chancellor. We hope to partner with the City on many sustainability initiatives in the future!
Below are some photos of the visit taken by Lisa Slavid (Housing & Residential Services).
