As stated in Twila McConnell's article "A new, green campus in SPSU's future?" by signing this commitment, the university is obligated to "cut down on emissions" and "teach students how to implement environmentally friendly actions within their respected fields." One of the first proposals to cut the university's emissions was Professor Robert Thacker's proposal to install solar panels on the roof of J-building. Professor Thacker is a long time supporter of alternate energy sources so when he heard Ted Turner bought DT Solar, a solar panel installation company, he started thinking about how SPSU could benefit from solar power. The primary benefit would be a decrease in the university's energy bill, but Professor Thacker sees more opportunities than that in the project. This solar panel project would help SPSU fulfill its responsibility according to the ACUPCC. Also, no other university in Georgia is operating a building with solar power so SPSU would probably gain good publicity from the project. Other opportunities Professor Thacker suggested were "becoming a leading educator ... for research and education of sustainable clean energy solutions" and "offering more alternative energy courses in business and technology" with an on-campus example.” February 6, 2008 ---------------- Dr. Sandra Vasa-Sideris, one of your favorite professors, was promoted to full professor.
