RESOLUTION 22-22 R. Medina City Manager
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIPATRIA SUPPORTING SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY IMPERIAL VALLEY’S EFFORTS TO EXPAND ITS PRESENCE TO INCLUDE STEM EDUCATION TO PREPARE OUR WORKFORCE FOR THE 21 ST CENTURY WHEREAS, 125-year-old San Diego State University (SDSU) has been an integral part of the Valley community for 63 years and currently offers programs including education, liberal studies, nursing, criminal justice and public administration; and
WHEREAS, SDSU is currently the only four-year public university in Imperial County, and is committing to expanding their nationally ranked College of Engineering and College of Sciences, from their main campus in San Diego to the Imperial Valley, to help usher in the professional degree programs to transform the region’s workforce development to support lithium extraction and state-wide energy priorities; and
WHEREAS, SDSU’s immediate goal is to expand its Brawley campus, using its available 200 acres of land to offer degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields with a focus on both engineering and environmental priorities and economic development; and WHEREAS, SDSU has already announced the addition of several new STEM academic programs to meet the growing educational and workforce needs in the Valley and, in December 2021, announced that the first cohort of environmental health faculty will be hired at SDSU Imperial Valley to serve students in the Valley; and
WHEREAS, SDSU has already expanded both faculty and staff resources in the Valley, including the new nursing degree program with new labs projected to start in Fall 2022, with a goal of doubling the enrollment to 2,000 students to serve regional workforce development needs and meet the educational goals of local California State University-eligible students; and WHEREAS, SDSU has requested funding from the state of California to construct new research and teaching facility of approximately 65,000 square feet, including 25,000 square feet of labs, core facilities with major instruments, and experimental fabrication space for collaborative work with public and private partners, 10,000 square feet of office space, and — critically — 20,000 square feet of STEM classroom and teaching laboratory space in Brawley; and WHEREAS, planned infrastructure would allow for academic and research work being done in San Diego to expand into Imperial County, where the proximity to the Salton Sea and the lithiumextraction operations create an ideal location for world renowned and hands-on STEM research and curriculum; and
