Philip Cruz, CIS Extension Associate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTint has been installed on the windows, timers on the air conditioning, and made recommendations on other energy saving options.<\/p>\n
These minor improvements play a major role in energy consumption.<\/p>\n
Some of their recent developments included a $2.37 million in grant assistance offered under the Empowering Insular Communities Program for various clean energy and energy-efficiency projects in American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n
As result, solar panels have been installed onto the universities library, student center, Agriculture and Life Science building, Humanities and Social Sciences building, and the English and Communications building.<\/p>\n
CIS is not only a research program\u00a0but participates in outreach as well.<\/p>\n
Some of their outreach programs include the TASI Beach Guides program funded by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a coral reef outreach program where students go out to the beaches and talk to locals and tourists about the various threats the coral reefs face, which also sponsors beach cleanups.<\/p>\n
CIS encourages students to attend their annual Regional Island Sustainability Conference. There is a different topic of discussion every year, 2016 will mark their seventh conference since 2010.<\/p>\n
