The two will be interacting with the program's faculty frequently. Zimmermann said the law students are an important factor in the organization's work.
Although the students do a fair amount of work with NYSTAR, Yang and Zimmermann will still have a lot to do.
"As an associate director, there are many day-to-day responsibilities associated with the work of the NYS STLC," Zimmermann said. "I enjoy legal research and working with a center that provides a high quality intellectual property educational resource."
Essentially, Yang and Zimmermann are responsible for leading and directing research, administration and conducting grant activities within the program.
Yang would also like to add a few more things to his to-do list in the school. "It's critical that we continue to increase the visibility of the center among its current and potential stakeholders," he said. "So that would-be entrepreneurs recognize that there are numerous resources available to help them capitalize on their ideas."
Yang and Zimmermann are attempting to raise awareness, sponsoring many upcoming events in the surrounding area including Accelerate 2008: New Ideas in Technology, Manufacturing, Energy and the Environment April 30 in Syracuse.
The second annual conference will host technology companies from around the area to conference and educate each other, as well as consumers, on both existing and upcoming products that will influence economics and environmental awareness.
