To carry out our aggressive research agenda, Rensselaer must bring to the campus scholars of international stature, faculty leaders in key fields whose pioneering research fosters the best kind of learning environment for our students, one that invites inquiry, exploration, and hands-on learning. As one of the Five Frontiers of Excellence, faculty excellence at all levels is essential to the success of The Rensselaer Plan: bringing together constellations of world-class research faculty teamed with junior faculty in research at the cutting edge.
To capitalize on our strategic investments in information technology and biotechnology—key research focal areas with profound economic and societal implications—we must secure the funding required to create these constellations.
