    New York Sea Grant Board of Governors Meeting 30 April 2013 April 22, 2013 To the New York Sea Grant Board of Governors: Enclosed is the Board Briefing Book for 2013, which reports on the activities of New York Sea Grant (NYSG) for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013. This period coincides with the same period that we use for reporting to the National Sea Grant Office at NOAA. This report summarizes the many activities in research, extension, and communications that the staff of NYSG is involved in, as well as the fiscal details of our operations. The past year has been busier than ever, especially in the wake of Hurricane Sandy as well as the multiple RFPs currently underway. I request that you carefully review the major sections of this document, particularly the Action/Discussion Items, and then refer to the appendices as needed. I refer you specifically to Action/Discussion Item 1, the NYSG Budget Report; Action/Discussion Item 2, Other Funding Sources; and Action/Discussion Item 3, PRP Report and other reporting issues; all of which we will discuss at the meeting. If you have questions or concerns please contact me. I look forward to meeting with you in Buffalo next week and thanks for your support. Sincerely, James W. Ammerman, Director, New York Sea Grant Enc.

  • University Senate Minutes
    University Senate Minutes http://naples.cc.sunysb.edu/Admin/usenate.nsf/pages/minutes University Senate Minutes October 9, 2006 Meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Bill Godfrey I. Approval of tentative agenda: approved II. Approval of minutes from September 11, 2006. Approved with minor spelling corrections. III. Provost’s Report (R. McGrath): The Provost announced a new initiative in Computational Sciences. The initiative will strengthen computation science at Stony Brook and will also enhance ties with BNL. BNL Director Sam Aronson and Provost McGrath will serve as interim co-directors of what they call the New York Center for Computation Science. They have devised a draft plan for building up the Center. The Empire Innovation Program, supported by new funds from New York State, will recruit outstanding new tenure track faculty to SUNY in disciplines with potential to attract federal research funding. Stony Brook University’s new College of Journalism has been granted $1.7 million from the Knight Foundation to begin a freshman program in News Literacy. The Official announcement of the award and program will be announced later this fall. The Provost introduced Graham Glynn, Executive Director of Teaching, Learning and Technology: Dr. Glynn started out as a faculty member in pharmacy and got interested in teaching and how technology can help improve the communication between students and faculty. He had the task of being the first person to put the School of Pharmacy at the University of Nebraska in Omaha on-line. He has a lot of experience with business education as well as technology and in hiring instructional designers to support general pedagogy not just technology.
