Faculty and Students
Students and faculty from member institutions have the opportunity to work on community based research and/or client projects with The Institute.
The Institute aims to advance a student’s critical thinking, analysis, and writing skills while providing valuable experience in a work environment. Students are engaged in a variety of research projects including applied research and secondary research. Students are provided with curriculum necessary to support the project and ongoing mentoring. The process for becoming an intern at The Institute is competitive and is outlined under student internships
Faculty has the same opportunity to work with The Institute to advance their own research agenda, participate in community based research, or client activity.
Both formal and informal relationship opportunities exist and are outlined in various sections on this site. This include participating in either the annual symposium, serving as a visiting scholar, advisor, publishing, or informally as research support.
