SCoRE is delighted to congratulate all the recipients of the Sustainability Education Innovation Grants and the winners of the Seed Grant Challenge for Climate Solutions. We'd like to offer a special shout-out to the eight faculty awardees who participated in our Faculty Fellows Program this past academic year who won Innovation Grants or Seed Grants - or in the case of Joe Bozeman (CEE & PubPol) - both! They include: Isaiah Bolden (EAS), Joe Bozeman, Jenny Hirsch (SCoRE & SCaRP), Allen Hyde (HSOC), Mike Lehman (LMC), Michael Nitsche (LMC), Gregory Randolph (SCaRP), and Danielle Willkens (ARCH).  In collaboration with the Strategic Energy Institute, the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems, and the Renewable Bioproducts Institute, SCoRE ran an Energy Equity, Environmental Justice & Community Engagement Faculty Fellows Program that engaged twenty-two Georgia Tech faculty and two external fellows. The program had the goals of growing collaborative expertise and building long-term relationships with each other and with community partners around energy equity, community benefits, and environmental justice. We are excited to support the fantastic community-engaged courses and research projects that these faculty have proposed. We welcome inquiries from faculty who are experienced in or new to engaging community partners to reach out to us - Nicole Kennard, Assistant Director of Community Engaged Research (kennard3@gatech.edu), Ruthie Yow, Associate Director, SCoRE (ruth.yow@gatech.edu), or Jenny Hirsch, Senior Director, SCoRE (jennifer.hirsch@gatech.edu) - with interest in or questions about the program or SCoRE's work. 

Congratulations, again, to these faculty - we wish you a wonderful fall term and are thrilled to support your teaching and research with community partners.
