CAED Faculty and Students Participate in National “Focus the Nation” Event College students have been prominent organizers and leaders linked with hundreds of other universities across the nation in a one day “Focus the Nation” teach-in on global climate change and strategies for reducing carbon emissions, Thursday, January 31, 2008. With the built environment accounting for almost half of the non-renewable energy use in the US, students and faculty of our college have been actively involved in both local and national event planning. Representing the CAED perspective are Dean Tom Jones and architecture faculty members Margot McDonald and Sandy Stannard. They have provided featured presentations for the Cal Poly event, in concert with dozens of faculty and students from all five departments who helped develop the presentation materials and resource list. Continuing in its leadership role on sustainability education, the CAED under Margot McDonald’s leadership will also be playing a lead role in mounting the 2008 Sustainability Conference on the Cal Poly campus, which combines representatives form the CSU, UC, and Community College Campuses across California. This event, the first ever on a CSU campus, is expected to draw more than 800 participants next July, and will also be the largest single conference ever held on the campus.
