by Michael P. Griffin - mgriffin

If you're at the State Fair this weekend ... Clarkson's University's Northern New York Robotics Academy and its traveling Robot Zone exhibit will be at the New York State Fair this Saturday, September 5, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. both inside and directly outside the 4-H Youth Building/ Youth Center Complex of the Fair. Faculty and students from Clarkson's Robotics Living-Learning Community and Robotics SPEED team will provide hands-on demonstrations of the FIRST pipeline of extra-curricular programs, as well as an in-class project based curriculum, developed for middle and high school classrooms using robotics technology. They will also offer some research-oriented robotics, including a quad-copter and assistive robotic devices, such as the NAO robot, an autonomous, programmable humanoid robot currently being used at Clarkson in research to develop new strategies for teaching children with autism. FIRST stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology."

Canadian Studies Research and Teaching Grants

by Martin D. Heintzelman - mheintze

Dear All, The Clarkson University Center for Canadian Studies is dedicated to "Promoting education and research on Canada and the U.S./Canada relationship." We are an endowed Center of the University with a limited amount of money available each year to distribute to faculty on projects meeting that objective. Examples of funded projects include: 1) A conference focused on bringing together scholars from both Canada and the United States leading to long-term cross border relationships 2) Class Field Trips (both single and multiple day) to Canada 3) Seed money for research projects focused on Canada or U.S./Canada issues, hopefully leading to additional sources of funding 4) Seed money to support development of courses with significant Canadian content 5) Conference travel to Canadian destinations to promote cross border partnerships The Center considers proposals on a rolling basis, and is flexible on how such proposals are considered. If you have any interest in receiving small amounts of funding for projects similar to those above, or are curious whether a project you have in mind would fit the criteria, please do not hesitate to contact Martin Heintzelman (School of Business, and Director of the Center for Canadian Studies) at mheintze(a)clarkson.edu<mailto:mheintze@clarkson.edu>.

Leadership Thought for the Week of June 1, 2015

by Arthur H. Bell - abell

"Words" by Sylvia Plath Axes After whose stroke the wood rings, And the echoes! Echoes traveling Off from the center like horses. The sap Wells like tears, like the Water striving To re-establish its mirror Over the rock That drops and turns, A white skull, Eaten by weedy greens. Years later I Encounter them on the road--- Words dry and riderless, The indefatigable hoof-taps. While >From the bottom of the pool, fixed stars Govern a life. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Center for Service Leadership "Providing Leadership Consultation and Training for Clarkson Faculty, Staff, and Students" Art Bell, PhD Director Snell 137 abell(a)clarkson.edu<mailto:abell@clarkson.edu> 315-268-4135

Old wood stove wanted

by Shun Nakao

A conventional wood stove (Pre 1988) is wanted for a scientific project on air quality impact of residential wood burning. This stove needs to be non-catalytic, nor have sophisticated sensors and controls. If possible, a stove manufactured prior to 1988 is preferred. If you are planning to replace your old stove and would be willing to donate or sell it to us, please let me know.
