We are working to become the hub of a dynamic applied research ecosystem, centered on capturing, cataloging and analyzing insights, defining the most innovative and effective methods, and then taking those findings into student development and to the world in the form of practical tools for organizations and individual practitioners.
Just as important as conducting valuable research, is sharing our findings and information about ongoing projects. Explore recent publications and presentations from our faculty and students below.
