Ensuring Sustainability
Stanislaus State's location in the Central Valley positions the campus to be a leader in water conservation, both in times of ample water and in drought. We invite you to take a look at the many of the ways the University is a leader in this vital mission.
The reflecting pond at the center of University Circle is more than a beautiful water feature It is the heart of a complex web of storage ponds, pipes and pumps that collects stormwater and landscape irrigation runoff for reuse campuswide. Installed 50 years ago, the system was originally designed to provide flood control in the wet season and store runoff water for use on the landscape during the dry season. Now, to support sustainability and address the increasing effects of climate change, the water reclamation system is steadily being modified to help the campus reduce its overall water consumption and build a more sustainable future.
Project 1300 Summer Academy for High School Students Allows Stan State to Shine
They began the day donning new shirts that proclaimed them Future Warriors, they shouted "Go Warriors" with President Ellen Junn, and many of the 41 high school students participating in the Project 1300 Summer Academy left with a newfound appreciation for Stanislaus State. The week-long institute, co-hosted by Stan State and UC Merced, is a component of the 1300 Campaign, an initiative that aims to send an additional 1,300 young men of color to the California State University and University of California in the next five years.
