We are very grateful for the generous contribution of Frances and Fritz Traugott who provided a $2,000,000 gift as the seed funding for the Energy and Environmental Systems Program at Syracuse University. We continue to seek additional personal and corporate gift commitments that will enable us to build upon the momentum established by this founding gift.
Industrial commitments are also sought to provide internship and applied research experience for students and relevant connections for faculty members.
Ongoing supports for BEESL research are from competitive grant and contract awards from Federal government agencies, NY State government agencies and private industries.
