This has led us to the very initial stages of pre-planning for the redevelopment of Farrall Hall to meet programmatic needs and a mission dedicated to translational work across our focus areas of food, energy, environment, and health. This obviously will take time (and significant resources), but we are taking the first steps toward upgrading our facilities to match the amazing, discipline-leading, and mission-driven work that our faculty and students are carrying out. Watch for more details in the months (and years) ahead.
Speaking of growth, we will have over 50 faculty, staff, and students attending the ASABE Annual International Meeting later this month in Anaheim, CA, serving on and leading various boards and committees, presenting cutting-edge research, receiving awards/accolades, and participating in multiple student competitions (Fountain Wars, Robotics, Engineering Ethics, and others). This will be our largest contingent of Spartans at ASABE in memory (even given the great travel distance), which reflects the significant growth in numbers and program strength mentioned above. If you are going to be at the ASABE meeting, please give a “Go Green!” to any of us you see!
Lastly, given the significant leadership role of BAE in campus-level climate initiatives (and associated major grant successes), please click through the links below to the new BAE Climate Solutions webpage, and the stories highlighting just a few examples of BAE faculty members leading exciting projects related to climate adaptation, mitigation, and sustainability.
As always, please feel free to drop me a note anytime if you want to discuss ideas or opportunities for collaborations or partnerships.
Go Green!
