The Shaw Professor will teach in the MAE department and is expected to advance the department by providing excellent instruction at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.
