This fall Clarkson Ignite invites all students to become inspired about the future. For the President’s Challenge we want you to tackle any opportunity important to you. To help you prepare to meet this challenge, Clarkson Ignite is hosting nine different talks throughout the semester, each focusing on various UN Sustainable Development Goals. These sessions will offer you the ability to understand some of those opportunities better and expand your knowledge. Starting Tuesday, September 15 at 2PM, join us virtually, listen, and ask questions to leading academics, entrepreneurs, and practitioners on topics ranging from energy resiliency, Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), mental health, and more! We will host this nine week series on Zoom, and registration is required. Check for our first link in the Wednesday September 9 announcements! If you have any questions, please reach out to Clarkson Ignite at ignite@clarkson.edu.

Swift Rails, Sustainable Transportation: Challenges and Opportunities

Clarkson Ignite welcomes Swift Rails CEO, Kevin Neumaier '86, and COO, Tony Gale, for this semester’s first virtual Speaker Series event. Neumaier graduated from Clarkson University in the class of 1986 with a BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering which he now applies to his passion and career in sustainable transport. Neumaier and Gale first met early in their careers when they worked at Ecology and Environment, Inc. together, and they later reunited as part of the executive team at Swift Rails.

Swift Rails looks toward the future of sustainable transportation. For this talk, Neumaier and Gale will share their experiences and discuss the contemporary challenges innovating and implementing transportation technology. Join us on Zoom to discover a new perspective on the merger of sustainable solutions, the future of transportation, and a discussion of what this future may look like.

(Join the virtual session on Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 pm using the Zoom link provided.)
