The Center for Student Research & Creative Work supports students and mentors across the disciplines as they engage in the processes of creative inquiry, dissemination of their work, and self-development.
The Center serves both students and mentors in a variety of ways that will support their scholarly endeavors. Summer research, travel support, presentation opportunities, and mentor development are some examples.
If you are a student interested in learning more about research opportunities, please reach out to faculty members in your major/minor departments or set up a time to meet with Dr. Picardo, Center Director.
St. John Fisher University expects all members of the campus community engaged in research to do so with integrity.
