Provost's Newsletter: January 2024

Message From the Provost

As we celebrate the beginning of a new year, we are in the middle of winter here in New York state's North Country, where temperatures outside are not as cold as usual and minds are definitely warming up the inside of our laboratories and classrooms. In any weather, research and discoveries advance, with our professors and young scholars exploring side by side. This month's Provost's Newsletter highlights two new degree programs, research funding by major organizations like the NIH and DoD, and more. I hope you enjoy reading about our community of scholars as much as I enjoy interacting with them on campus daily.

— Christopher C. Robinson, Provost

New Environmental Science and Sustainability Degree

A female student in green pants partially kneels down and reaches her hand into a river and a second student in a blue shirt bends over and uses a tube to look beneath the surface of the river.

The most pressing environmental issues -- including greenhouse gas emissions and the overuse of disposable plastics -- can be traced back to human decisions. In addressing these issues, it is vital to understand both the scientific and policy aspects that impact the planet. A new bachelor of science degree program in Environmental Science and Sustainability will prepare students to tackle both of these challenges.

David D. Reh School of Business Newsletter: Winter 2024

Message From the Dean

Snow has come to the North Country (of course!) as we highlight some major media attention, a winning student team and more in this month's issue of the Reh School of Business Newsletter. All of our faculty and students do incredible work every day, but I'm always proud to see our faculty research featured in media clips from major news organizations. At the same time, back on campus, our creative engineering & management students have taken top place in a campuswide competition. We're excited about the accomplishments of all of our students and faculty, and I hope that you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy working with them daily. Stay warm!
