Furthermore, our center aims to highlight scholarship as both a fundamental liberal arts endeavor and as a means for us to critically think about how we carry out our motto “While we live, we serve.”

With that, we have a multi-pronged approach put in place to achieve our goals. 1. Advancing student research programs. 2. Building an infrastructure for faculty-led research. 3. Leveraging our strengths for student fellowships. 4. Embedding research into the curriculum.
