University Visits Restricted at the Water Pollution Control Plant Due to Construction
Please be advised that the City of Chico’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) is closed to visitors until late 2009 while the facility undergoes a $38 million expansion which began in October 2007. Considering the construction project is continually changing the conditions at the job site, the City of Chico has closed the site to visitors.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have to those who have been able to integrate the WPCP facilities into course work and who have enjoyed field trips to the various areas of the facility, including the bird watching areas. A visitor’s policy providing limited access during construction has been created; to inquire if a visit can be accommodated, please contact the project’s liaison, Tamara Miller, at MPM Engineering at (530) 892-1795.

Ellen Deering Endowment Fund Call for Proposals for 2008/2009

Mrs. Deering required that copies of all projects funded from the Endowment be deposited in Meriam Library Special Collections.
Proposals for the 2008/09 competition should be sent to Carolyn Dusenbury/Deering Endowment Project Director/Meriam Library/CSU, Chico/Chico, CA 95929-0295.
Applications must be received by or postmarked on May 2, 2008.

For Deering Endowment Fund information and guidelines, please contact Carolyn Dusenbury.

Relay Team Wildcat Wins First Place
The University Team Wildcat received top honors for raising the most money at last weekend’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life. The 25-member Team Wildcat raised more than $17,000 as one of nearly 90 teams at the 24-hour relay at PV High. The entire event raised more than $300,000. Funds go to to cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient services.
The Wildcats also donated towards more than 80 luminaria candles to recognize campus personnel who have battled cancer. The candles were placed in front of the booth to remember survivors and those we have lost.
The team thanks the campus community who supported the efforts and donated to our many fundraisers. Much credit goes to team captain Kathy Favor and fundraising chair Peggy Armocido for their tireless and inspirational efforts.
The team is already planning for next year’s relay. For information contact Kathy Favor.

(Thank you to many of our faculty who have volunteered their time to speak on the bus routes.)
Passengers who ride during this week may also be entered into a drawing for prizes including a folding bike that can be taken onto the bus. More information is available online. Join the fun and spare the air by riding the bus.
