The Center for Energy and Sustainability, located at California State University, Los Angeles, has recently engaged Janine Mcdonald to help facilitate a planning session for 50 members of faculty, students, and other staff.  With the support of a National Science Foundation grant, the Center for Energy and Sustainability dedicates its resources to finding new ways to make existing energy technologies more efficient, as well as promoting up and coming energy alternatives.\n\nBy building upon CSU-LA’s research and expertise on sustainability issues, the Center for Energy and Sustainability has developed a unique multi-disciplinary approach to address the energy efficiency issues that our society is facing today. By conducting extensive research on newer energy technologies, promoting the use of energy alternatives, and educating policy makers, students, and the public, the Center for Energy and Sustainability is making sustainable energy a reality.\n\nThe Center is devoted to public education of energy awareness, environmental justice, and preparing the future workforce for more sustainable technologies. CEaS is currently teaming up with other universities to develop a Ph.D program relevant to sustainability energy analysis and to recruit, train, and mentor graduate students to ensure that the cause for cleaner and more efficient energy is always advancing.\n\nFor more information on the Center for Energy and Sustainablity’s vision:\nhttp://ceas.calstatela.edu/
