Summer news from Snowden Hall

Karen Kuers is part of a team that has received a $494,980 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish an ecological research and education network among faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions. The network, known as EREN (Ecological Research as Education Network), will begin with 12 institutions, including Sewanee, and will be expanded over time to include additional partners.

On May 25, President Barack Obama announced his intent to appoint Ken Smith as a member of the Board of Directors of the Valles Caldera Trust, which manages the Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico. Smith was nominated for the position by N.M. Senators Jeff Bingaman, the chair of the US Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee, and Tom Udall.

Further information about both of these events is located at Sewanee News on the University's home page.

Where are we?
