De Anza program receives $3 million
The Los Altos-Based Morgan Family Foundation has pledged $3 million for the creation of a fully endowed chair for De Anza College's Environmental Studies Program--one of the first endowed chairs in California at the community college level.
The college's energy management technology team, under the power of the Environmental Studies Program, works in alliance with the California Energy Commission that trains energy technicians and others on the improvement of energy efficiency at California community colleges and schools.
De Anza plans to break ground on the energy-efficient, climate-responsive Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies in September 2002. The center will serve as a national model to educate new generations on becoming environmentally aware citizens.
For further information, call Carole Cassidy, executive director of the Foothill-De Anza Foundation, at 650.949.6101. For further details about the Environmental Studies Program or the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies, call Phillips at 408.864.8655.
