Organizations are tied to the environment because they depend on the resources and energy that the environment has. Organizations cannot survive without a healthy environment.
I live in Santa Cruz and I am a former student of Cabrillo College. Cabrillo is currently undergoing expansion, which looks to be completed soon. However, there is a great demand for this expansion because many people are wanting to go to college at the state level, because university costs are too expensive for them.
Although Cabrillo cost less than attending an university, the education you can receive is very rewarding. Cabrillo has some of the best instructors. Cabrillo College also has an obligation to the society to help produce independent hard working individuals.
In Santa Cruz, there was a problem of a lot of young men and women not wanting to attend a regular college setting. These individuals could only afford to go to college for a shorter amount of time to learn a trade. Cabrillo College heard of this out cry and started a program to help these individuals. However, the program is not only for the young but for the older population, as well.
On the other hand, before all of these expansions took place, at Cabrillo, the college was ethically obligated to address any issues that would pose a threat to the city of Santa Cruz. Some issues that could have posed a threat would be issues of public transportation, traffic build-up, and increased housing needs in the city.

Settle4What, your mentioning Cabrillo College and their “obligation to the society to help produce independent hard working individuals” made me reflect on the environment that Cabrillo College has created in Santa Cruz County. Cabrillo’s Board of Directors, Instructors, Staff and Administration have done an outstanding job with investing in the environment in which they are located. Cabrillo College has a satellite campus in Watsonville and now in Scotts Valley and we as a city are delighted to have such a dynamic organization in our community.
The community of Scotts Valley closely looked at the location that the satellite campus was to be located and felt it was well thought out and could facilitate the traffic, as well as providing and integral service to our community and the surrounding communities. Cabrillo College has been successful because the organization is well aware of their environment and invests well in their environment. I’m sure that you recall that Cabrillo College went out for a second bond for the construction of the expansion that you mentioned. Many people felt that the bond would fail, as Cabrillo had previously asked the electorate to fund a bond just a few years earlier. Due to the fact that Cabrillo College is intelligently and well invested in their environment, the electorate saw fit to tax themselves to expand the campus facilities to address the needs of the community. This organization, Cabrillo College, is exceptional!
