Waste-heat project featured on Weather Channel

An historic gift and a nearly $1 million grant for UD garnered significant media attention. Umesh Haritashya wrote about the Nepal flood for The Conversation and gave interviews to outlets in Singapore, Australia and South Korea.

The Weather Channel also featured the University's waste-heat project, which will consistently satisfy all of the University of Dayton's electricity needs with carbon-free power.

NewsNation quoted political scientist Christopher Devine in a story picked up by at least 46 outlets nationwide.
