Warner earns grant for technology training: A federal grant totaling as much as $725,000 is boosting efforts of the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development to educate future teachers who can integrate technology into the classroom.

The three-year project began last fall with an initial grant of $260,000 from the U.S. Department of Education.

Raffaella Borasi, dean of the Warner School, and Ellen Santora, assistant professor at the Warner School, are directing the project.

Study: Center adds $65 million to New York's economy: A state-sponsored effort to match researchers with New York and Rochester-area businesses had a $65 million impact on state and local economies.

That's according to the annual report of the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems, which is based at the University and also works closely with Rochester Institute of Technology.

The center's latest report shows that the added jobs, increased revenues, and outright savings on research fostered by the center quintupled last year's economic impact.

"These numbers show we're getting a better bang for the research buck," says Eby Friedman, center director and professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University.

Simon programs earn high marks: The Executive M.B.A. programs of the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration were ranked 19th among the top 50 executive master of business administration programs in the world in the first survey of executive education by the Financial Times of London. Simon also was listed among 10 schools in the category of "Top U.S. Schools."

And, for the second year in a row, the Simon School was named by Forbes magazine as one of the nation's graduate business schools that offer students the best return on their investment in an M.B.A. program. The Forbes survey ranked Simon at Number 21 in its roundup on the programs that offer "The Best Bang for the Buck."
