Four scholars from South Carolina State University’s Dr. Emily England Clyburn Honors College recently networked with peers from around the country at a national conference in Texas.
In what Dr. William H. Whitaker Jr., Honors College dean, described as a significant moment for academic excellence and cultural celebration, the scholars attended the National Association of African American Honors Programs (NAAAHP) conference at Prairie View A&M University.
The conference was a key event for scholars and educators dedicated to advancing honors education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities
The Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE) has been awarded $2 million for two projects by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop advanced filaments for additive manufacturing and graphite for energy storage applications from mining wastes.
Industry partners will provide an additional $419,048 of cost-share. Both projects support the goals of the United States government to transition to 100% clean energy by 2035.

With new funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, scientists in Montana State University’s Department of Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology will seek to fill knowledge gaps surrounding an agricultural weed that has caused problems for Montana producers for decades. Jennifer Lachowiec, an associate professor in MSU’s College of Agriculture, received two grants from the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture totaling more than $900,000 to study how wild oats develop herbicide resistance and to explore management techniques for the weed.
Four researchers and professors from Michigan State University have been recognized in the 2024 Highly Cited Researchers list, a ranking organized annually by Clarivate Analytics.
The national list recognizes research scientists from across the globe who have offered expertise and significantly influenced their respective fields of research. The list is created from highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% of citations for field and publication year in Clarivates Web of Science citation index. Of the worlds population of scientists and social scientists, highly cited researchers are one in

As the world struggles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are seeking practical, economical ways to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products, such as transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, or even building materials. But so far, such attempts have struggled to reach economic viability.
The University of Maine has selected a new buyer for the Hutchinson Center following a repeat of a request for proposals in October.
Waldo Community Action Partners plans to maintain critical internet connectivity infrastructure and pay $3.06 million for the property, which is above both the appraised value and the offers from the two other respondents, UMaine said in a news release Nov. 15.
The nonprofit received the highest score among three proposals to purchase the Hutchinson Center in Belfast, allowing it to move forward to negotiate a sale agreement with UMaine.

December is here, and the traditional signs are all around campus. Cold winds blow. Snow flurries fly. UVM students hunker down for finals. And local eighth graders are taking fieldtrips to the STEM complex and the Davis Center.
Browns River Middle School has a many-year history of bringing students to UVM during finals week for the students to get a feel for what college is like and see some exciting science demonstrations. They return this year, coordinated by Lisa Windhausen, who brought 48 students to see hour-long science shows from the Chemistry and Physics Departments.

At it's last general meeting of the year on Wednesday, Dec. 11, the Wayne State University Board of Governors unanimously approved an exciting new academic initiative. The doctorate in integrative neuroscience program – also known as INSPIRE – will launch in fall 2025 and will be located in the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Designed to tackle some of today's most pressing challenges in neuroscience, INSPIRE represents a bold, interdisciplinary approach to education and research, combining expertise from biology, psychology, engineering and other disciplines.
