By Dr. Betsy Summerfield A sometimes challenging, though always rewarding accomplishment for the college emergency manager/coordinator is building regional relationships throughout their service area. Many colleges have numerous locations/campuses where they offer seminars, workshops, and classroom instruction. In order to be successful each college needs to know their regional emergency partners prior to an incident. These regional partners can assist with training, planning, and serving as valuable resources for various activities.

By Keith W. Houck Like most colleges, Valencia has been very engaged in sustainability and initiatives to reduce energy costs. We have had great success through enhancements in chiller plants, lighting, and controls. These programs have helped reduce our energy costs by more than $1 million per year. We have also included either LEED or Green Globes standards for all our new construction, thereby helping to lower our average energy costs per square foot.

Transparency. Does that word bring to mind "scotch" tape, squeaky clean windows, or perhaps my recurring nightmare "the Emperor’s New Clothes"? You know where I’m going here – faculty and staff on campus want transparency in executive decisions and actions, constituents want it from politicians and stakeholders are beginning to demand it from higher education.

Are you ready to "Find Your Oasis"? We hope you are planning on attending the CCBO annual conference this year in Palm Springs, CA. This year the conference returns to a popular site from a few years ago. I encourage you to read The History of Palm Springs to learn about this interesting place. Though "The Valley", as it is called, was the home of the Agua Caliente Indians thousands of years ago, Hollywood discovered this desert playground in the mid-1900’s. Just as this community grew from a desert to a flourishing community and economy, we are working hard to bring you interesting and insightful speakers with a focus on finding opportunities in the challenging environment our colleges are faced with today.
