News: PCC To Participate At Green Community College Summit Oct. 5 - 7

Pasadena City College will be an active participant at the Green California Community College Summit, Oct. 5-7. The Summit will help guide the greening of California’s community colleges and the development of curriculum that will prepare students for “green collar” jobs.

Community colleges are a focal point for statewide efforts to create a green economy and workforce in California. The energy and interest surrounding the emerging green economy has provided community colleges with unprecedented opportunities to enrich the communities they serve.

The summit will focus on attaining savings from building and running green campuses, the development of a green curriculum, using green programs for teaching and apprenticeships, utilizing campuses as models of sustainable practices for their community, and helping students seize green employment opportunities. The summit will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center, Oct. 5-7.
