Few of the students profiled below started college with the idea that they’d soon be working side by side with professors and PhD candidates. But where their academic curiosity led, opportunities followed—and many were surprised to find what doors opened to them when they took initiative and moved their exploration beyond the classroom. For NYU undergraduates interested in research, gaining this kind of experience—in the field, the lab, or the studio—can take several forms, ranging from assisting a faculty or grad student mentor to embarking on independent projects and even co-authoring publications

Spirit Splash is one of the most popular events on campus — and has been voted one of the best college traditions in the nation.

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.

I am pleased to recognize such a diverse and dynamic group of institutions for integrating international education into their teaching, partnerships, systems, culture, and student success models,” said Fanta Aw, NAFSA executive director and CEO. “With minority-serving institutions, large land-grant universities, and a community college district counted among this year’s winners, these institutions demonstrate that the principles and practices of internationalization thrive within a variety of structures, geographies, and student populations.

An international collaboration that includes an Oregon State University astrophysicist has identified a phenomenon, likened to the quick-footed movements of an iconic cartoon predator, that proves a 19-year-old theory regarding how solar flares are created.

Understanding solar flares is important for predicting space weather and mitigating how it affects technology and human activities, said Vanessa Polito, a courtesy faculty member in OSU’s College of Science.

Can you imagine a day when you turn on your faucet and no water comes out? The hypothetical question, posed by a research team at UNLV, is called a Day Zero scenario. It sounds like the plot of a doomsday apocalypse series but its not as unimaginable - or as far-fetched - as a Hollywood screenplay might seem. A few years ago in Cape Town, South Africa they almost reached this point, where they were about to tell their citizens that they simply had no more water to give them, even though we all know that water is necessary on a daily basis, said Erica Marti, an associate professor of civil and environmental
