Centers and institutes serve a variety of functions. Each center or institute is unique in its focus and is created to meet a specifically identified need. Centers and institutes provide an opportunity for professionals to utilize their expertise through consultation, technical assistance, and research-related activities. Centers and institutes also provide excellent opportunities for students to learn, to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and to become involved in meaningful projects in the community. Centers and institutes strengthen the research and public service missions of the university and, therefore, enhance the quality of education.
