CSU Named Tree Campus USA
Chicago State University has been named Tree Campus USA for 2010 by the Arbor Day Foundation. Dr. Karel Jacobs stated, "It is wonderful to be recognized nationally as a university that values its trees and outdoor campus. The CSU campus is part of a larger urban forest that contributes important psychological and ecological benefits to the inner city. Thanks are due to the dedicated staff who care for the trees, and students, staff and faculty who participate in Tree Advisory Committee and Arbor Day events. I invite all in the CSU community to become involved this year during Earth Week and Arbor Day at the end of April."

After 27 years of service.... On May 11, 2011 faculty, staff, and students came to celebrate and say farewell to Dr. Floyd Banks after 27 years of service at Chicago State University. Dr. Banks has been a professor in the Biological Sciences Department during his time here and became department chair in 2005. Well known as a strong student advocate, his contributions to CSU have been great and plentiful. He will truly be missed. We all wish him a happy retirement.
