Sustainable Energy Studies

In addition to allowing the hiring of a new faculty member, it is expected that the professorship fosters a strong collaborative relationship between the faculty in sustainable energy studies and the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems, a federation of universities, corporations and government partners based at SU, as well as the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

This professorship facilitates an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable energy studies, drawing on the strengths of multiple schools and colleges at the University. The College of Arts and Sciences, the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, among others, have been identified as potential collaborating schools and colleges.
