But it is clear that SJSU and Spartan alumni are at the forefront of promoting social and environmental justice through civic action. Fast forward to the SJSU of today — there are many ways in which Spartans are studying and engaging with a changing world. From ocean health to outer space and every point in between, the focus on climate science and saving our planet continues at San José State, where research opportunities continue to grow. According to the <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvyherd/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">‘23 National Science Foundation Higher Education Research and Development survey</a>, SJSU is #1 in research among all non PhD granting universities. SJSU’s research, scholarship, and creative activity (RSCA) has grown more than 53% in the last 4 years, with plans to double research spending by 2030.Many faculty and students are examining a fascinating array of research issues that impact climate change. Here are a just few climate related research projects currently underway:Assistant Professor Jessica Castillo-Vardaro, Biology, studies mammals and how they adapt to changing temperatures and environments in mountain environments. <a href="https://www.castillovardaro.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Associate Professor Minghui Diao, Meteorology and Climate Science, researches ice and mixed-phase clouds, providing accurate quantification on the climate impacts of cirrus clouds. <a href="https://www.cloud-research.org/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Assistant Professor Maya deVries, Biology, investigates climate change stressors such as ocean acidification and ocean warming, and how they’re impacting marine food webs. <a href="https://buff.ly/3Gz32GF" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Professor Phil Heller, ’08 MS Computer Science, Computer Science, uses AI Deep Learning on tens of thousands of microphotographs to study changing ocean habitats. <a href="http://go.sjsu.edu/PhillipHeller" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Professor Amanda Kahn, Invertebrate Ecology, studies how climate change affects marine sponges and corals, which are both important members of the marine community. <a href="https://mlml.sjsu.edu/invertebrate-ecology/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Professor Kate Wilkins, Biology, studies the ecology of areas that buffer climate change and allow species to persist in or expand under changing environmental conditions. <a href="https://fireecology.wixsite.com/katewilkin" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 85, 162); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 85, 162) !important;">Learn more here.</a>Editor’s note: The car was dug up in Oct. 1970, compacted, and used as the cornerstone for the first rapid transit terminal in Santa Clara County.</div><div>=</div><div>myers-lipton min wage</div><div>

In total, he has supported his social action students as they have won 15 campaigns since 2006. In addition, Dr. Myers-Lipton has worked to help students develop solutions to poverty and inequality by taking them to live at homeless shelters, the Navajo and Lakota nations, the US Gulf Coast, and Kingston, Jamaica. Dr. Myers-Lipton is the recipient of the Manuel Vega Latino Empowerment Award, San José/Silicon Valley NAACP Social Justice Award, the Elbert Reed Award from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Association of Santa Clara County, and the Changer Maker Award from the Silicon Valley Council of Non-Profits.Dr. Myers-Lipton serves as an Advisory Board Member of the SJSU Human Rights Institute.He lives with his wife, Diane, in San José. In addition, Scott and Diane are the proprietors of the Sequoia Retreat Center, an event center dedicated to individual and social transformation.</div></div><div style="">=</div><div style=""><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute</a></div><div style="">
</div><div style="">In 2005, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jose_State_University" title="San Jose State University" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">San Jose State University</a> honored former students Smith and Carlos with a 22-foot high statue of their protest titled Victory Salute, created by artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigo_23" title="Rigo 23" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Rigo 23</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute#cite_note-36" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[36]</a> A student, Erik Grotz, initiated the project; "One of my professors was talking about unsung heroes and he mentioned Tommie Smith and John Carlos. He said these men had done a courageous thing to advance civil rights, and, yet, they had never been honored by their own school." The statues are located in a central part of the campus at <a class="external text" href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute&params=37.335495_N_121.882556_W_&title=Olympic+Black+Power+Statue" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none !important; padding: 0px !important;">37.335495°N 121.882556°W</a>, next to Robert D. Clark Hall and Tower Hall.Those who come to view the statue are allowed to participate by standing on the monument. Peter Norman is not included in the monument so viewers can be in his place; there is a plaque in the empty spot inviting those to "Take a Stand." Norman requested that his space was left empty so visitors could stand in his place and feel what he felt.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute#cite_note-37" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[37]</a> The bronze figures are shoeless but there are two shoes included at the base of the monument. The right shoe, a bronze, blue Puma, is next to Carlos; while the left shoe is placed behind Smith. The signature of the artist is on the back of Smith's shoe, and the year 2005 is on Carlos's shoe.The faces of the statues are realistic and emotional. "The statue is made of fiberglass stretched over steel supports with an exoskeleton of ceramic tiles."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute#cite_note-38" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[38]</a> Rigo 23 used 3D scanning technology and computer-assisted virtual imaging to take full-body scans of the men. Their track pants and jackets are a mosaic of dark blue ceramic tiles while the stripes of the track suits are detailed in red and white.In January 2007, History San Jose opened a new exhibit called Speed City: From Civil Rights to Black Power, covering the San Jose State athletic program "from which many student athletes became globally recognized figures as the Civil Rights and Black Power movements reshaped American society."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute#cite_note-39" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[39]</a></div><div style="">
