  • Univ. Turns Waste Into Renewable Energy

    By Jamie Meyerson March 12, 2009

    What began as an idea in an e-mail two years ago is now the The Cornell University Renewable Bioenergy Initiative, seeking to utilize everything from dining hall waste to animal manure in order to create renewable energy sources on campus.
    Mark Hoffman, director of Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, spearheaded this initiative, looking to keep Cornell committed to its sustainable efforts. According to Hoffman, Cornell oversees over 10,000 acres of land as a living laboratory that supports the research and teaching community. This land is also a rich source of biomass that can be converted into renewable biofuels.

  • Recession Prompts Economics Profs to Adjust Coursework

    By Ben Gitlin March 12, 2009

    As the current economic crisis reaches historic lows, professors are working hard to find unique and creative ways to bring the crisis into classrooms and relate textbook principles to the real world.
    Many economics professors have attempted to discuss certain principles, models and theorems in light of how those same tactics are being used by the U.S. government to combat the economic downturn.
    “While the standard course content relates to the economic and financial situation, I’ve tried to explain it more in the context of what is going on right now.” explained Prof. David Lee, applied economics and management. “For example, I’ll talk about a bunch of Obama’s administrations initiatives in terms of the concepts that we are learning about.”
