Research and Community Engagement
Bringing research to practice. Acclaimed EHS faculty are constantly exploring and pushing the boundaries in their fields.
EHS faculty encourage students, both undergraduate and graduate, to join them in a wide variety of research projects that incorporate community engagement, social activism, service-based leadership, interdisciplinary scholarship, and more. We take pride in offering a host of integrated research-based opportunities that are rarely afforded at many other institutions. Our goal is to think through the serious challenges facing our rapidly changing global society and to find innovative solutions that will lead to a more just and holistic human experience.
EHS Academic Centers, Labs, and Initiatives
Providing a link between campus and community, our centers work with community organizations, private sector businesses, government agencies, and the public to assess problems and apply the latest thoughts and best practices to address the issues at hand.
