Earth Day
Resident Garden
The first Earth Day in 1970 was the inspiration of a
lifetime to all who were involved in organizing and
participating in the event. This historical day unlike
any other used a teach-in model that was an
educational experience as well as a political
demonstration. Starting the first green generation,
this educational process of self-motivation and selfdirection of environmental enthusiasts created longterm impacts that have not been matched since. The
style of celebrating Earth Day has changed over the
years but many still acknowledge and participate in
some sort of environmental cause or action.
Everyone can be included somehow and help make
the world a better place by protecting the Earth.
Student Housing will be tabling in the Dining
Commons about Earth Day so be sure to stop by
and chat with them to learn more!

The UC Davis Cross Culture Center presents The 42nd Annual Asian Pacific Culture
Week - Our Story: From the Group Up
Now - April 24
Since its inception in 1973, Asian Pacific Culture Week (APCW) has provided
the UC Davis campus with cultural programs designed to both educate and
celebrate. APCW became a University sponsored program in 1979 and has
grown into an annual event anticipated by students, faculty, staff, and members
of the Davis community alike. The week is filled with presentations by speakers
from diverse corners of the Asian Pacific Islander community. In the past,
musicians, comedians, actors, authors, artists, and civil rights activists have
visited the campus to share their experiences.
This year's theme for APCW, "Our Story: From the Ground Up," places an
emphasis on our life/ethnic/environmental background, struggles,
accomplishments, identities and bases. The programs put on during APCW
highlight our history, our current dilemmas, our future aspirations, our families
and every aspect of ourselves that have been historically marginalized and
underrepresented.
Thank you to our major sponsors: the Office of Campus Community Relations,
Associated Students of UC Davis and Division of Student Affairs

Open Courses
ECM 1: The Design of Coffee
This very popular course offers you a chance to learn how to
transform raw coffee beans to an icy and refreshing cup of Joe.
Rejuvenation in a cup!
GE Credit: 3 units of Science and Engineering; Visual Literacy and
Scientific Literacy
Learn more at: http://bit.ly/SAVEAp
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I really get to roast and brew coffee in this class?
Yes! The core component of this class is a weekly 2-hour lab session, where you will do experiments
involving coffee. Examples include taking apart a Mr. Coffee brewer to analyze how it works, measuring the
pH of coffee versus brew time, and examining the energy usage of different roasting profiles. In every lab
session you will get to taste the resulting coffee, working with your group to ultimately make your unique
design for the best-tasting cup of coffee.
I don't drink coffee. Does this class require me to drink it anyway?
No, you can take the entire course without tasting any of the coffee, and doing only visual and olfactory
(smelling) sensory analyses. However, one of the things you will learn in this class is that properly prepared,
fresh roasted coffee can taste nothing like the bitter stuff you might have tasted before. Some coffees even
taste sweet without adding sugar. Moreover, a fun part of the class is the blind taste test at the end of the
quarter, where you get to complete with your classmates Iron Chef style.
I only drink decaffeinated coffee. Is decaf available?
Yes. For students who cannot or choose not to consume caffeine, decaffeinated green coffee beans are
available for both roasting and brewing.
I've heard engineering courses are difficult. Is this class going to destroy my GPA?
No! This class is designed as a general education course for students who are not majoring in engineering. All
grades will be based on a curve using standards appropriate for a non-quantitative, freshmen level class.
Will I get GE credit for this course?
Yes, this class counts as 3 units of Science and Engineering credit for GE. The course also satisfies 3 units
of both Scientific Literacy and Visual Literacy.
Why is this class in the department of chemical engineering? Are we going to be adding weird
chemicals to the coffee?
Absolutely not! During the entire course we will use only green coffee beans and water. As we will discuss in
the class, chemical engineers apply quantitative reasoning to a tremendously wide variety of industrial
applications. Quite a lot of our graduates are actually hired by the food and beverage industries. But the main
goal here is to introduce students to how chemical engineers analyze things, using coffee as a fun (and
delicious!) example.
Sorority and Fraternity Life Updates
