A banner at the base of campus heralds UCSC's three latest "green" certifications from the Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program, administered by the City of Santa Cruz. The certifications, given at the November 13 City Council meeting, recognized three new campus locations: Porter/Kresge Dining Hall, Cowell/Stevenson Dining Hall, and University Catering.
