Chico State Students Work to Rebuild New Orleans
During the third week in January, 115 students, faculty and staff from California State University, Chico traveled to the New Orleans area to spend five days rebuilding houses devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This was the third trip to New Orleans for the “Rebuild New Orleans” project, and the trip with the largest number of volunteers.
The College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management (ECC) sponsored the program. Advisor Terry Battle, from ECC, accompanied the group, as did staff member Ben Duarte and faculty members James O’Bannon, Mark Maybee, David Shirah, Michelle Morris and Dale Lee.
“The devastation Hurricane Katrina had caused to the communities was apparent to the students as we drove to Camp Hope, an old school used as a hostel-like lodge for volunteer workers,” said Battle. “Forty students were bundled in three classrooms. They worked for the next five days from dusk until dawn in an effort to bring life back to the New Orleans area.”

‘The Cause’ Wins Jack Rawlins Environmental Prize
A student group that lives and works together to promote sustainable lifestyles received the $6,000 Jack Rawlins 2007 Environmental Prize.
Max Kee is a co-founder of the group that lives together in a house on West 4th Ave. in Chico, where they are striving to live a sustainable lifestyle and educate others in the process. Their efforts include growing a backyard garden, building a greenhouse where they produce starter plants for others, composting their vegetable food scraps, and adapting recycled materials for gardening, furniture and art.
The group works to reduce waste by buying foods in bulk, filling old containers with fresh food from Chico Natural Foods, and using reusable Chico-Bags exclusively. They are conscious consumers who consider packaging, materials, and how far a product is shipped as part of their purchasing decisions.
