Fundraiser and Book Drive, Dec. 1
The County Jail Law Project (CJLP) and the Community Legal Information Center (CLIC) would like to invite you to a fundraiser and book drive on Mon., Dec. 1 from 12pm to 3pm in the Free Speech Area or the BMU, depending on the weather.
We will be setting up a mock jail and “locking up” interns of the County Jail Law Project as well as faculty members from the Political Science Department. The participants must “make bail” from students and members of the community in order to get out of jail. The money raised will benefit the Community Legal Information Center. All the books donated will go to the Butte County Jail. The books must be soft cover, and it would be better if the books had educational value. If you are interested in participating feel free to contact us at CLIC 530 898-4354.

The Museum of the Mind, December 3
Date: Wed., Dec. 3
Time: 8am - 12am
Location: Kendall 207/209
The Museum of the Mind (we call it MOM) is a collection of interactive displays designed to bring selected topics in the field of Cognitive Psychology to life. Each topic display will include some kind of interaction, so these are engaging presentations, inviting you to participate and experience the psychological phenomena for yourself. Students in PSYC 334 —Cognition have collaborated on the development of these projects for the last 2 months, and the outcome should be interesting and informative.
Everyone is invited to come either for a couple of minutes, the full duration, or anything in-between. The best times to come by are during the 8am - 8:50am class or the 11am - 11:50am class because the projects will most likely be staffed. There will also be coffee, tea, and (hopefully) homemade baked goods.
For questions contact Martin van den Berg at mvandenberg@csuchico.edu, 898-3472.

Announcing: Sustainability Summits, I, II, III
This semester we will hold three facilitated discussions about the following list of topics. Not every topic would be covered on any given date. Each conversation will be facilitated by a different person, depending on the topics. The purpose of the summits is to assess campus progress toward sustainability, compare ourselves to other “green” campuses, and determine the actions we will take to achieve our goals.
• What does it mean to be a “green” campus?
• How do we compare to other institutions within the CSU?
• How do we compare to other campuses in the U.S. that have received recognition for being “green”?
• What have we achieved to date and what are our commitments as a campus under the Presidents Climate Agreement?
• Are there gaps in terms of our own achievements, compared to others?
• How do we continue to create a culture of sustainability on campus?
• How can and should we continue to integrate sustainability into the curriculum?
Let us know which topics you feel deserve the greatest attention, and if there are others you would like to see added to the list, please send them to Scott G. McNall at the Institute for Sustainable Development. We hope that students, faculty, staff and community members and partners will join together in deepening the conversation about a sustainable future.
