UAlbany Senate
Faculty members at the College of
Nanoscale Science and Engineering are active participants within the
greater University at Albany community. A number of CNSE professors hold
leadership positions in the UAlbany Senate, which meets on a monthly
basis during the academic year to discuss effective educational policies
and provide a forum for representatives to discuss their concerns. In
addition, members of CNSE's faculty also serve on a variety of
University Councils designed to promote academic and research
excellence.
