Former Central Michigan University president Michael Rao established the Campus Sustainability Advisory Committee in 2008 due to the "immediate need for a coordinated effort to address sustainability issues."Since then, more than 100 energy-optimization projects have been implemented, saving $10.8 million and making great strides in creating a culture of sustainability, but this effort will always be challenged by the growing size of campus and amount of energy used by students.Conservation projects have reduced energy costs despite the addition of thousands of square feet to campus.

In January, I wrote my first and only column responding to the terrorist attack on French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo, which claimed the lives of 12 satirists and five others in the Ile-de-France region.I’m extremely saddened to be writing another.Saddened not only for the abnormally large and unnecessary loss of life around the world, Friday, but because the past week has shown tensions between races and religions have only grown more severe since the Charlie Hebdo shooting.
After a week that featured several on-campus demonstrations and the first meeting of a task force between students, city officials, law enforcement and Mount Pleasant residents, the generational gap in this college town began to show its depth.While about vastly different topics, these events ignited passionate debate between students who feel that their voices are not being heard, and residents who don't think their concerns are valid.
