History With origins rooted in the University of California Berkeley's Division of Viticulture and Enology, the Department of Food Science was initially established in 1919 as a division of fruit products after the Volstead Act prohibited commercial wine-making. While studies in viticulture continued at Davis, the fruit products unit at Berkeley turned its focus toward processing fruit juices and identifying optimal techniques for canning, drying, and otherwise utilizing fruits for consumption. In 1951, the renamed Division of Food Technology moved from Berkeley to Davis. Scope and Contents Syllabi, lecture notes, department correspondence, photographs, and realia.

    Muslim & Arab Student Campus Climate at the University of California Fact-Finding Team Report & Recommendations President’s Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture, & Inclusion Issued by Jihad Turk, Nan Senzaki, Tyrone Howard, and Armaan Rowther Charge & Scope The President’s Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture, and Inclusion was established by UC President Mark Yudof in June 2010 to identify, evaluate and share “promising practices.” It also monitors and evaluates the progress of each campus toward ensuring conditions and practices that support the University’s mission to provide equal opportunities for its community of students, faculty and staff consistent with campus Principles of Community. The Advisory Council is led by President Yudof and UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Christopher Edley and includes affiliated members from each campus and leaders from various constituent and community groups. In October 2011, the Council commissioned a team to be sent to several campuses to meet with members of the Muslim, Palestinian, and Arab communities. In April and May 2012, the Team visited six campuses – Santa Cruz, Davis, Irvine, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The team included: Imam Jihad Turk, Director of Religious Affairs as the Islamic Center of Southern California Professor Tyrone Howard, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, UC Los Angeles Nan Senzaki, LCSW, Staff, Counseling and Psychological Services, UC Davis Armaan Rowther, Undergraduate & XIV Dalai Lama Scholar, UC Irvine The Team was charged with the evaluation of the educational and co-curricular experiences of Muslim and Arab students which would culminate in recommendations for improving the education opportunities and campus climate for students.

    William B. Heed 1926–2007

    IN MEMORIAM doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2007.00269.x WILLIAM B. HEED 1926–2007 William Battles Heed (b. June 9, 1926) died September 10, 2007 after a long illness, leaving his spouse of 53 years, Sarah, and three daughters, Ellen, Emily, and Anne. Perhaps best known for his long-term contributions to the ecology, genetics, distribution, and host plant relationships of desert Drosophila, Bill Heed was also a consummate field naturalist who came from a long tradition of “knowing” the organisms he worked with. A biography of Heed’s life was recorded as a dedication to the second symposium volume concerning ecology and genetics of Drosophila (Fogleman 1990), which included input from him and a complete bibliography, so much of that account will not be repeated. A perspective on Bill’s unique contributions to ecological genetics and evolution early in his career, some relevant references, his pursuit of truth, as well as his insights into science and his colleagues throughout his life, are described here. Bill Heed was an avid field biologist from a very young age, and he exercised a passion for field ornithology for the rest of life. After graduating from high school, he joined the Navy in 1944 and served in the South Pacific. He obtained his B.S. degree in 1950 from Penn State University, and after some illumination from reading Dobzhansky’s Genetics and the Origin of Species (1951), began graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, becoming John T. Patterson’s last graduate student. Along with Wilson S. Stone, Marshall Wheeler, B.

The habits university students learn at university campuses extend beyond the classroom and can be a catalyst for lifestyle choices in the future. The university structure is a unique atmosphere and an incubator of learning opportunity and campus commutes are an important component of university life. This analysis used a mixed methods approach including content analysis, secondary survey analysis, and interviews to study the work of four universities around campus commutes. The four universities were selected to be analyzed based on student population, bicycle friendly university rating, and location in the western United States The content analysis included information from university websites and university plans.
