Reny and Torrie at Enloe Rehabilitation Center

por Leslie Layton

Temprano una mañana de invierno, en una celda de aislamiento de la cárcel del condado de Glenn, Reynaldo “Reny” Cabral se puso en posición de velocista, una posición que había tomado frecuentemente cuando jugaba para el equipo de fútbol americano de la escuela preparatoria de Orland. Luego se abalanzó, chocando su cabeza contra una capa de hule que cubre la pared de la llamada “celda de seguridad” en la cárcel. read more

Cindy Daley recognized for sustainability work

Chico State professor Cindy Daley this week received a major award for her role at the Chico State University College of Agriculture and CSU’s Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems.

The $100,000 Gayle E. Hutchinson Award for Excellence – the largest in the California State University system – recognizes people who lead innovation in campus technology, academic research and creative activity, according to Cathy Pleasant, chair of the Chico State University Foundation.

Daley has taught at the College of Agriculture since 1996 and served as the campus coordinator for the University’s Agricultural Research Institute and as a member of the Campus Sustainability Committee. For four years, she also was faculty chair for This Way to Sustainability, the nation’s largest student-run sustainability conference.

“Cindy has been on the forefront of whatever she has tackled for decades, and it is our hope that not only will this further her research and her prominence in the field but it will make other people, both scholars and students, want to come to Chico State because of it,” Pleasant said in a statement.

Daley’s work founding the Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems is the focus of the award. Since 2019, her work has helped promote sustainable farming practices that reduce greenhouse gasses, restore soil resiliency and address food and water insecurity. — Natalie Hanson
