Grant funding hits record $6.8 million |

Nov 12, 2008

Youngstown State University secured a record $6.8 million in grants in fiscal year 2008, eclipsing last year’s total by nearly $1 million, and officials say the university is on track for another banner year in 2009.
YSU celebrated its record year of grant receipts and honored the faculty and staff who made it happen at its annual research recognition luncheon Nov. 12 in the Ohio Room in Kilcawley Center.
In the 12–month period ending June 30, 2008, YSU faculty and staff received $6.8 million in grants, compared to $5.8 million in fiscal year 2007. It’s the highest amount in YSU’s 100–year history and more than triples the $2 million in grants that the university brought in nine years ago.
Peter Kasvinsky, associate provost for research and dean of graduate studies and research, noted that YSU’s 2008 fund total does not include Third Frontier grant awards YSU received over summer, such as the $2 million grant to fund a materials research project in partnership with Fireline TCON Inc., a Youngstown manufacturing firm.
Those funds will be part of the 2009 external fund tally, and that’s why he believes next year’s total will surpass this year’s.
Kasvinsky also said that YSU has had a success rate of approximately 66 percent on grant proposals, meaning that YSU receives funding for about two–thirds of the grants for which it applies. The national standard is about 35 percent, he said.

YSU breaks ground on new business building |
|
Oct 27, 2008
Ron Cole, 330-941-3285
Culminating nearly five years of planning and fund–raising, Youngstown State University today broke ground for a state–of–the–art $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration.
Funded through a combination of private and state funds, the 110,000–square–foot building on the far south end of the YSU campus will provide cutting–edge classroom and laboratory facilities for the college’s 1,950 students and will help better connect the college and the university to the downtown Youngstown business district.
“This is a monumental day in the history of the university,” YSU President David C. Sweet said. “As YSU celebrates its Centennial and its proud past, this building allows us to glimpse into the university’s promising future and a second century of providing high quality academic programs and serving as a catalyst for educational and economic growth throughout the region.”
Construction will begin early in 2009, and the building will be open in time for fall 2010 classes. The building is the centerpiece of YSU’s Centennial Master Plan and represents the largest single capital expenditure in the university’s 100–year history.
“The construction of this building is the result of a series of partnerships that are unprecedented in the university’s history,” said Betty Jo Licata, dean of the Williamson College of Business Administration. “From the city of Youngstown and the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown to students, faculty, staff, alumni and hundreds of committed donors, this facility will stand as a symbol of community–university collaboration that serves our students and the entire Mahoning Valley.”
