Call for Entries - An Exhibition on Sustainibilty
The University Library Art Gallery, in conjunction with Museum Studies and Curatorial Practice students at Sonoma State University, is seeking artists to submit work for an exhibition on the theme of “Sustainability”.  Although the word “sustainability” brings to mind numerous meanings in today’s society, we leave the interpretation of the theme up to each participating artist.   Participating artists will be chosen by Sonoma State students and staff.

Sonoma State Community Urged to Help Drive Funding to CSU/Higher Education
Presidents of Sonoma State University and the Sonoma Chapter of California Faculty Association sent a message to the campus community this week urging faculty, staff and students to "do more to help drive more funding to the CSU and higher education" to solve the crisis of underfunding that is taking its toll on university campuses in California. The message is timed to provide input for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as he puts together his state budget proposal to be delivered in early January.

SSU Develops the Right Program at the Right Time
Sonoma State University’s Sustainable Landscape Professional Certificate program, launched in January 2008, is a natural outgrowth of the popular Green Building Professional program that began in 2003. The program seeks to show students how landscapes must be designed within the parameters of a site’s specific soils, climate, slope, exposure and resources; and contain plants that are correct for these circumstances. Sustainable landscaping seeks to design a project to its site, rather than imposing a design on the landscape.
