The
Student-Faculty Interdisciplinary Research Think Tank (SRT)
at
Daemen College works to support applied
joint faculty-student research to benefit local communities. SRT
aims to promote a deeper commitment by students to research and
to theenhancement of local, national, and global well-being.
Established in the fall of 2002 as a project of The
Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement at Daemen
College, the Think Tank focuses on research projects that
fall under the general concepts of sustainable communities, civic
engagement, and historical and cultural preservation.
The goals
of SRT are to:
- Support
research into a broad range of issues that fall under the general
concepts of sustainable communities, civic engagement, and historical
and cultural preservation;
- Support
research teams with faculty and students working together;
- Publish
applied research findings in an online occasional paper series
and periodically in print; and
- Enhance
curriculum and institutional developments centering on the theme
of sustainable communities and civic engagement. Special emphasis
is placed on curriculum projects that affect local communities,
schools, economic development, environmental preservation or
restoration, and cultural preservation.
SRT
was made possible through support from the Office
of Sustainable Development and Intergovernmental Affairs of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and
The John R.
Oishei Foundation of Buffalo, New York.
Daemen
College is dedicated to providing students with the tools
to for life long learning, for improving the quality of life
locally, nationally, and globally, and for stimulating critical
thinking and creative problem solving.
