In July, he received the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation’s National Inventor of the Year Award at a ceremony held at the Smithsonian National Museum in Washington, D.C. Kowalsky contributed to the development of a unique process that can be used in the automotive industry. In accepting the award, Kowalsky said, “Our invention protects, enhances, and provides the ability to use and develop materials that allow more environmentally friendly products to be manufactured while overcoming many of the mechanical and material barriers.” (The location of Kowalsky’s talk is undetermined; please check http://www.buffalostate.edu/events.xml at a later date).
The lecture series, formerly known as the Chemistry Lecture Series, has been running for more than 20 years.

The New York State University Police are currently hunting down multiple men and women to bolster the ranks of the 28 SUNY Police Departments who employ over 500 police officers statewide.

Since the tragic events at Virginia Tech, the scope of the university policing job, level of readiness and community expectations has never been higher. Because of the demands for an ultra-professional police force, the SUNY Police have ramped up recruiting efforts to attract the most talented applicant pool possible.

“The Mission program is a great way for the Christian community to show others the true meaning of our faith and the glory of God’s word,” said Reverend Chuck Whited, Pastor, First Trinity Lutheran Church. “Fundraising events are one of the few ways to gain financial support for these trips, which as we have seen in our own congregation, truly have potential to change lives.”
