Centers & Institutes

Campus Centers and Institutes (CCIs) are organized around a scholarly, creative, research, education, and/or public service activity that combines the interests and expertise of individuals, departments or administrative units. They may draw on the expertise of resources external to the campus and may offer services to constituents beyond the campus community. While CCIs by their nature and location serve the campus community, their focus may not be exclusively internal.
