CSU Monterey Bay National leader in Community Engagement One of only four public universities with a service-learning requirement. Only two-time recipient of the U.S. President s Award for Community Service in Higher Education (2006, 2010-3/1000 institutions). Also twice listed on the U.S. President s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll (2012, 2013-14/1000 institutions) One of the first universities to receive the new Carnegie Classification in Community Engagement
Thomas Friedman Economist 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary New York Times Columnist March 30 th, 2013, New York Times because knowledge is available on every internet-connected device, what you know matters far less than what you can do with what you know. The capacity to innovate the ability to solve problems creatively or bring new possibilities to life and skills like critical thinking, communication and collaboration are far more important than academic knowledge the goal of education today should not be to make every child college ready but innovation ready ready to add value to whatever they do.

Environmental Science vs. Environmental Studies What s the difference???
Environmental Science Environmental Studies http://askabiologist.asu.edu/explore/i-spyecosystem http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/ejac.htm Sustainability: The need to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, while living within the limits of supporting ecosystems.
Environmental Science Environmental Studies You want your studies to emphasize Nature side of people + environment How natural systems work Doing science http://askabiologist.asu.edu/explore/i-spyecosystem Communicating science to policy makers http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/ejac.htm You want your studies to emphasize Social side of people + environment How social and political systems work Understanding, communicating, teaching & applying scientific knowledge Promoting sustainability across broader society
