New College of California, North Bay Campus
http://www.newcollege.edu/northbay/

The mission of this program is to seek a Just, Sacred and Sustainable World. In 1998, New College of California established its North Bay Campus for the Study of Culture, Ecology, and Sustainable Community in Santa Rosa. The campus
offers Bachelor and Master of Arts Degrees with an emphasis in Culture, Ecology, and Sustainable Community and an MBA Degree with an emphasis in
Sustainable Enterprise.

We strive to meet this mission by teaching students the understandings and skills to:

-Overcome alienation and heal both people and the Earth;
-Resist further destruction of people and planet;
-Build sustainable, alternative ways of living in areas such as economics, agriculture, education, technology, health, community, etc.;
-Create a shift in the culture’s consciousness to a more holistic, ecological paradigm;
-Build community in an increasingly isolating and individualizing culture.

School for Change, by Michael Persinger
“Two years ago, I attended San Francisco’s first Green Festival and it had these impacts on my life: I drank my first good organic beer; I decided to drive less; and I learned about a dynamic grad school program focused on environment, social justice and psychology of change. Today I’m commuting on a sport utility bicycle, studying at Sonoma State University and completing a documentary film on sustainable coffee production as part of the school’s
“Action for a Viable Future” program.”

Campus Center for Appropiate Technology
http://www.humboldt.edu/~ccat/

The mission of CCAT is to demonstrate appropriate technology in a residential setting, to provide hands-on experiential learning opportunities to Humboldt State University and the surrounding community, to collect and disseminate information about appropriate technology, to examine the ethical and social consequences of technology, and to dispel the myth that living lightly on the
earth is difficult or burdensome. CCAT is dedicated to sustainability and seeks to help others live likewise.

Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems
UC Santa Cruz
http://socialsciences.ucsc.edu/casfs/about/index.html

The mission of the Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems (the Center) is to research, develop, and advance sustainable food and agricultural systems that are environmentally sound, economically viable, socially responsible, nonexploitative, and that serve as a foundation for future generations.

Our status as a Center within the Division of Social Sciences at UC Santa Cruz enables us to undertake projects in many disciplines in the pursuit of these goals, and to work with faculty, staff, and students from throughout the university. Beyond the campus we collaborate with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), growers, community members, visiting students and researchers, and state and federal agencies, including UC Cooperative Extension and the US Department of Agriculture. The Center’s work includes both theoretical and applied research; academic education and practical training; and community outreach and public service for audiences ranging from local school children to international agencies.
