HIGHLIGHTING ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH AND CREATIVITY!

These projects help Ithaca College and Upstate New York communities to address the complex challenges associated with climate change. Separate awards will be presented based on the “sustainability” category. To participate and be considered for this category, students from any school may select “sustainability” as their School when completing the Whalen Abstract Submission Form.
