Anthropological
Studies Center (ASC)
The ASC was established to provide practical experience in Cultural
Resources Management to complement undergraduate and graduate
curricula available through the regular instruction program of
the University. The Center performs research in the areas of archaeology,
local history and ethnography. The Center's Director is Dr. Adrian
Praetzellis.
Center
for the Study of the Holocaust
The Center was established to provide a significant focus for
scholars, teachers and programs dealing with the Holocaust, a
seminal event of our times. It coordinates existing Holocaust-related
courses on campus and promotes new ones. The Center offers an
interdisciplinary perspective and encourages research on Holocaust-related
themes. The Center's Director is Dr. Myrna Goodman
Environmental
Studies Center (ETC)
The Environmental Technology Center (ETC) is a dynamic, interactive
and integrative facility where faculty, students, and community
members can work together in education, applied research, and
collaborative projects on energy and environment. Incorporating
sustainable building techniques and a wide range of design features
that minimize energy use, the ETC is projected to consume only
20% of the energy allowed by state code for similar buildings.
These “Green Building” features include environmentally responsible
building materials, passive solar heating and cooling, daylighting
and shading, advanced window systems, “smart building” control
technologies, photovoltaic electricity, and energy and water-efficient
landscaping.
Center
for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Analysis (CIGA)
The mission of the Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Analysis
(CIGA) is to enable and promote the application of geospatial
technology to social and environmental problems through research,
education and community service. The lab seeks interdisciplinary
collaboration among campus and external researchers, students
and other organizations in projects that involve geographic information
and spatial analysis at local to global scales. To accomplish
these goals, the GIC provides: computer, software and data resources;
Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing expertise
and consulting services; educational courses; and community outreach.
Courses in the Department of Geography and Global Studies provide
a solid foundation in geospatial science. Students are given a
unique opportunity to broaden and refine their education by working
on real-world problems in CIGA research projects and service contracts.
Institute
for Community Planning Assistance (ICPA)
The ICPA is designed to respond to the expressed needs of public
planning agencies in SSU's service area, and to the educational
and financial needs of planning and other interested students
as SSU.
North Bay International Studies Project
The North Bay International Studies Project is a grant- funded, statewide subject- matter project that provides pedagogical and curriculum resources in both History/Social Science and International Studies to the University and K-12 educational community. It is one of the seven sites of the California International Studies Project (CISP) and a member of the Redwood Professional Development Consortium (RPDC).
The Project offers workshops, seminars, lectures, and summer institutes aligned with the California State Standards for History/Social Science, including content programs in International Studies, World and American History, teaching methodologies, and leadership development. All teachers participating in NBISP programs examine both what constitutes best classroom practice in History/Social Science and the multifaceted roles in which teachers are engaged as facilitators of learning, researchers, and professionals. NBISP programs are also open to student teachers.
