Budget Central has been created to provide the latest news about the CSU Stanislaus budget in light of the state’s severe cuts to the California State University system. The University has been required to make $13.5 million in cuts to its 2009-10 budget, including a $2.5 million reduction of part-time faculty and staff, and has reduced full-time equivalent enrolment to 6,800.

For the last twenty-EIGHT years CSU Stanislaus Geology students have embarked upon a journey that is almost instantly fossilized into their academic memories. Professor Ida Bowers notes, “There are very few better ways to learn about a subject than to actually get out and experience it with your own two hands.” The annual winter term trip to Death Valley has become a landmark staple of the rich educational experience that reflects the program’s philosophy of learning. This year was no different for the small group of seven students and their accompanying entourage who signed up for the trip as part of the intensive “Geographical Processes in Arid Landscapes-Death Valley” course curriculum; no different except for the fact that it may very well be the last trip made.
The ubiquitous budget situation affecting the entire CSU system has not spared the Geography Department’s funding for the annual trek. The news comes at a bad time for Bowers as well, as she has been preparing her own farewell on the way to final retirement at the conclusion of an illustrious 37-year career at CSU Stanislaus. Bowers expresses a subtle sense of sorrow knowing that the field trip may not continue without her. “There has to be a strong belief in the importance of field work in many environments for Geography students,” Bowers said. “Students tell me they remember more whey they’re out learning in the field and not in the classroom. It’s up to students to let their professors know that they want field work.” Visit Life After Death Valley website click here. Photo Gallery
