A group of more than a dozen New York emergency managers are now the first graduates of a new microcredential offered by the State Weather Risk Communication Center at the University at Albany.

UAlbany rolled out the purple carpet Thursday night for the world premiere of its episode of "The College Tour" and the grand reopening of the newly renovated Campus Center Ballroom. Students, faculty, staff and alumni filled the refreshed space — now complete with upgraded AV technology and a modern look — for a Hollywood-style celebration that included themed mocktails, a photo booth and a panel discussion with student stars from the episode.

The University at Albany is offering new academic programs that will help shape future leaders to address the world’s evolving climate and environmental challenges.

UAlbany will convene hundreds of industry experts and decision-makers for its third annual Renewable Energy Pathways Conference, which will focus on weather’s impact on energy development and innovation.

The Mesonet’s Schuylerville site, located at Saratoga County’s Hudson Crossing Park, was the first station to start collecting weather data in August 2015.

With questions now being raised about disaster preparedness, leaders are turning to UAlbany's research and expertise.

A severe heat wave felt across the Eastern U.S. last Monday and Tuesday set record high temperatures at more than four dozen New York State Mesonet stations.

The State Weather Risk Communication Center is featured in a new book as one of the game-changers of weather forecasting.
