SU NEWS AND EVENTS COVERAGE

A water-pipe repair technique developed at Syracuse University is noted in an Associated Press article about the attempt to repair the Delaware Aqueduct, which carries water to New York City.

Media coverage of the upcoming campus visit by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the “Common Ground for Peace” events Oct. 8 and 9 includes reports by the Associated Press, WINS-AM radio (New York City), WHAM News (Rochester, N.Y.), Utica Observer-Dispatch, Syracuse.com and local television and radio stations.

A Huffington Post article, “Disabled and Disenfranchised,” cites a study co-authored by the Burton Blatt Institute’s Meera Adya. The study finds people with disabilities remain largely sidelined in American politics and the size of the disability population means it is an important voting bloc and potential swing group.

Statistics from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) are cited in two Las Vegas Review-Journal articles about illegal immigrant re-entry to the country, and the tough sentencing standards of Senior U.S. District Judge Roger Hunt.

University Professor Carl Schramm was interviewed by Innovation Trail on government’s role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
