    C E E NEWSLETTER Carnegie Mellon ALSO INSIDE THIS ISSUE CEE’s SUMMER CEE Students 15 Connection 12 Win ASCE With TV’s & Awards ‘The Office’ Al Gore 10 Visits CMU SPRING CEE AlumniSee back cover Events! for details CEE Department Head JIM GARRETT reetings from CEE at Carnegie Mellon! We just completed another excellent academic year, punctuated by an exciting and memorable commencement ceremony. The ceremony featured former Vice President Al Gore, who charged the graduates to lead this country to a more sustainable future and recognized G our department and university as leaders in this mission, and Professor Randy Pausch, who encouraged the graduates to be passionate about how they spend each day. At our CEE graduation ceremony, I was also pleasantly surprised, and touched, to receive a senior class gift from every one of our graduating seniors for use in supporting the Class of 2009. These seniors, a talented group who won many external awards, also clearly demonstrated the community spirit we so often talk about here in CEE. We send our best wishes to all of these graduates as they commence the next phase of their lives. The highlighted theme of this newsletter is environmental sustainability, which we have actively researched and taught courses on since the early 1990’s. One of the most significant contributions to this area has been the Economic Input Output Life-Cycle Assessment (EIO- LCA) tool that has permitted efficient and effective LCA analyses in a large number of domains. This powerful tool, publicly available at www.eiolca.net since 1997, has been very widely used because of its accessibility and flexibility.

  • The Following Are Questions Submitted to the University of Pittsburgh by a Community Resident
    The following are questions submitted to the University of Pittsburgh by a community resident: Updated 4/9/2019 1) As you know, it took nearly five months for my 18 questions to be answered by university officials. I would like you to focus on one question that was not answered honestly. In the list of questions, I had previously mentioned that the purpose of the city's $3 million dollar grant application with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development was to build a roadway from the old Almono site in Hazelwood, through The Run and Panther Hollow, and to Pitt and CMU. I then said that at a December 7, 2015 community meeting concerning the above mentioned roadway, Director of City Planning Ray Gastil said the roadway would traverse the back area of Pitt's Panther Hollow parking lot. I asked the question: "Who at the University of Pittsburgh said to the city that this property could be used for a roadway?" The answer was: "The University of Pittsburgh does not have plans to transition that property into a roadway." That response does not answer the question honestly. Once again, who at the University of Pittsburgh said to the city that this property could be used for a roadway? Provide the name or names of those individuals. The chancellor would have the answer. We are not aware of anyone at the University authorizing the use of Pitt’s Panther Hollow parking lot for a roadway. 2) When the streets in the heart of our business district are being decimated by predominantly dormitories, student housing, and university‐owned buildings, how can you grow an eclectic, multi‐ ethnic, longtime residential community? The University of Pittsburgh is committed to continuing to invest in the Oakland Business Improvement District through direct annual support, partnership for events and programming, and participation through having representatives active on the Board of Directors amongst other activities.
