37. Hubert Keen, Ph.D.

It’s all about The Green for this guy. Keen has his doctorate in ecology. He leads a school with deep roots in the agricultural industry. And these days, in order to keep the green flowing to Long Island, Keen has been collaborating with political and business leaders as they plant the seeds of a Smart Energy Corridor, which would include making the college a research and development incubator for green technology, as well as training workers to keep up with this emerging industry. It also recently announced the creation of a Green Building Institute that will train workers in the art of energy-efficient building for LI’s largest home improvement companies. Part of that goal is for these initiative to grow to neighboring businesses on Route 110 and beyond, harvesting a new generation of industry and jobs to make LI’s economy sustainable into the next generation. It’s enough for even non-FSC alum to shout, “Go Rams!”
