Clean Air Day Programmig

CEC Program Assistants working in the Research & Technology pillar partnered with students working in the Pitzer Student Garden on a Clean Air Day event. 

The CEC has also partnered with the Robert Redford Conservancy (RRC) on programming centered around Clean Air Day including community film screening to provide information about Clean Air Day, and to bring light to the issues our community faces in regards to air quality. 

Adelanto Water Justice Coalition (AWJC)

The Adelanto Water Justice Coalition (AWJC) partnership began when the CEC was contacted by Adelanto Councilmember Evans, seeking support in examining water quality in the city, as residents reported experience water with foul odor and discoloration. We partnered with Professors Ethan Van Arnem and Jason Tor teaching Integrated Biology and Chemistry, and Professor Katie Purvis Roberts teaching Advanced Chemistry to run initial tests. Following the first phase of testing, we partnered with the Robert Redford Conservancy (RRC), the Immigrant Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ), El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center, and Pitzer students to create a public report for resident testimonies, water history, test findings and community impacts.
