SCSU, Yale to share $7.5M grant for research
From New Haven Register - Sep 29, 2005
NEW HAVEN - Yale and Southern Connecticut State universities will share a $7.5 million federal grant to study the molecular stuff of transistors, magnets, superconductors and other devices.
The universities plan to establish a highly interdisciplinary center to experiment with oxides of silicon and other elements.
Yale will receive about $6 million of the highly competitive six-year grant. SCSU will get about $1.5 million, the largest grant in the university's history.
Southern Awarded $1.5M for Joint Science Center
From Southern Life - Oct 2005
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Southern a six-year, $1,484,000 grant - the largest in Southern history - for the development of a joint, cutting-edge science center with Yale University.
The total grant is $7.5 million with about 20 percent of that going to Southern, while most of the rest will be awarded to Yale. The joint award is one of only two NSF grants given this year for materials science or engineering centers. The other institution receiving a similar grant was the University of Washington.
SCSU's physics club 'outstanding' in its research
From New Haven Register - Feb 2, 2005
The physics club at Harvard must be a hallowed space, and the proto-gearheads at MIT are undoubtedly a brilliant lot.
Likewise Yale, the University of Connecticut, Wesleyan University and Tufts must draw the academic apogee.
Odd then, that the physics club at Southern Connecticut State University was chosen as the "Outstanding Chapter" in Connecticut by the Society of Physics Students.
