On 1/18, time is tbd but will be between 3-5. Bud day is when dz members will give out bids to new potential members, they then will decline or accept our invitation to join our sorority. This will take place at their dorms when the bids are delivered that morning. But, if accepted they will come to the delta zeta house later on in the day to experience being a sister.
Come hang out, play games, and get back into the semesters with the HAs!
Weekly meeting of the Clarkson University Gaming Society
Sorority event
From to at Delta Zeta House.
Come make some cards and learn more about Alpha Phi Omega, the service-based gender-inclusive fraternity on campus!
Join SASE for the first GBM of 2024! We will have some packaged snacks and drinks to enjoy as we discuss the upcoming events! Everyone is welcome!
Jump back into the semester with our Welcome Back GBM! We will be meeting in Snell 175 on January 16th at 7:00 to go over upcoming events and answer any questions. Sign up here!
At the top of this month's Institute for a Sustainable Environment Newsletter is news of our new undergraduate degree program in environmental science and sustainability. It's a revision of our environmental science & policy degree, with concentrations to allow students to focus within the broad field of environmental science and sustainability. We also have lots of news about research by our ISE faculty and affiliated faculty, as well as students. I hope that you enjoy reading about their accomplishments below.

The most pressing environmental issues -- such as greenhouse gas emissions and the overuse of disposable plastics -- can be traced back to human decisions. In addressing these issues it is vital to understand both the scientific and policy aspects that impact the planet. A new Bachelor of Science degree program in Environmental Science and Sustainability will prepare students to tackle both of these challenges.

Eight students have been deeply involved in the recertification of New York State’s Olympic Region as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) community. The students are helping the Olympic Regional Development Authority, the Village of Lake Placid, the Town of North Elba and the Lake Placid Central School District go for sustainability gold as they look to recertify using the latest LEED rating system.

A Clarkson team has been awarded a $1.2 million Department of Defense grant to scale up an integrated treatment system to destroy PFAS in sediments. The system includes mechanochemical ball milling, which destroys PFAS in soils and sediments, followed by soil washing and plasma treatment.

Two Clarkson professors have been awarded $749,000 by the Department of Agriculture to develop a filtration system to capture and recover phosphate from tile drainage and reduce the phosphate burden on watersheds. This sorbent and field-ready system will decrease environmental impact and provide a renewable phosphate supply, improving the sustainability of agricultural practices.

Major government support for our research on cleansing the environment of contaminants – like PFAS in soil, phosphate in our watersheds and organohalogens in our waste streams – tops our Coulter School of Engineering Newsletter this month. You'll also find an interesting article on respiratory emissions by children, as well as accomplishments by our students and our celebration of 50 years of the Society of Women Engineers here at Clarkson. Please enjoy reading about the achievements of our students and faculty.

Prof. Selma Mededovic Thagard has been awarded a $422,000 National Science Foundation grant for her research on the dehalogenation of waste streams using electrical discharge plasma. Dehalogenation of waste streams is at the forefront of the major engineering challenges facing society, with more than 10,000 organohalogens impacting the environment.

An article by a Clarkson research team, recently published in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology, explains their findings that age influences the size and quantity of respiratory particle emissions in humans during activities, with children releasing fewer and smaller particles than adults. Thus, incorporating age demographics into disease transmission models may improve their accuracy.
