UC San Diego - Return to Learn | |
 | |
The Return to Learn Program is a voluntary student program that screens for active SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. If you choose to participate, you will be helping potentially reduce the risks of COVID-19 outbreaks and making our UC San Diego community a healthier place.
In this initial phase, in May 2020, SARS-CoV-2 testing was be made available to resident undergraduate and graduate students currently residing on campus. Participation is voluntary, but all eligible students are encouraged to participate, and there will be no cost to the students who choose to participate.
The Return to Learn Program is for asymptomatic student volunteers only. If you are having COVID-19 symptoms (shortness of breath, cough, fever, chills, loss of smell or taste), please call Student Health Services at 858-534-3300.
At this time UC San Diego is not able to accommodate students who do not reside in on-campus housing, nor families of students who may also live on campus. They hope to expand testing in the future so that we can accommodate many more groups.

Orange County Sustainability Decathlon 23 | |
The new due date for applications is May of 2022. | |
|
OCSD23 is seeking college teams that are passionate, goal-oriented, and motivated to take action because they understand the urgent need for inventive thinking. Teams will design and build, from the ground up, model net-zero-energy homes that demonstrate how innovative applications of building science and technology can help mitigate climate change and alleviate the housing crisis. The homes will be assembled in a "solar village" at the Fairgrounds for public tours and awards
Teams accepted into the competition will receive a one-time $100,000 stipend as seed money.
The Sustainability Decathlon will also have a Sustainability Exposition with displays from local and state agencies and the private sector which showcase sustainability efforts. Think of this as a "World's Fair of Sustainability."
The overall goal is to help the state of California meet its goal of a clean energy future.
