SU NEWS AND EVENTS COVERAGE

I4U News reported on the San Diego offering of Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (V-WISE), operated by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families. V-WISE, one of the first federally-funded programs focused on engaging entrepreneurial opportunity for female veterans, was launched by Syracuse University/the Whitman School in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration in 2010.

Smithsonian Magazine and the Daily Mail (U.K.) reported on the SU Lava Project—a mix of science, art and education to investigate the physical properties, aesthetics and educational opportunities of creating basaltic lava flows in a controlled, outdoor laboratory environment. The project is organized by the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ Sculpture Program, in collaboration with the Department of Earth Sciences in The College of Arts and Sciences.

SU is included among participating colleges and universities in a Buffalo News report on Say Yes to Education expanding its college scholarship program for graduates of district and charter schools in the city of Buffalo. Also, a Buffalo News follow-up Saturday editorial on the topic mentions SU.
