Research Center
The Research Center offers expert guidance through the research process: from refining a topic, to finding and evaluating relevant sources, to creating a bibliography. A Research Center consultation session can ease anxiety about a project or paper and teach research and evaluation skills for life-long learning.
One-on-one research consultations are available to students and faculty at any stage of the research process. Consultations for students and faculty are by appointment during the summer months. Consultations are held at the Research Center in the Anderson Academic Commons (Main Level, room 240).
