Futures Initiative Lennihan and Notari Digital Poster Showcase
Please join the Futures Initiative in congratulating award recipients for the Dr. Louise Lennihan Arts and Sciences Grant and the Paul C. Notari Environmental Studies Grant. We firmly believe these grants make a significant difference in the research paths of Graduate Center doctoral students and often fund the beginnings of much larger and public-facing research projects. We welcome you to explore the Lennihan and Notari Digital Poster Showcase to learn more about each student’s research project.
Dr. Louise Lennihan Arts & Sciences Grant supports interdisciplinary research related to the intersections of the humanities, arts, science, and technology. The competition honors Dr. Lennihan for her extraordinary service on behalf of students and faculty at the Graduate Center. Louise Lennihan served as Interim Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at the Graduate Center from 2013 to 2016. In this role, Dr. Lennihan served as the principal academic officer of the Graduate Center, ensuring the quality and performance of all the degree-granting programs.These awards are made possible by a generous gift from Curtis Wong as well as several anonymous donations.
