Centers and Institutes at CSUEB

Campus Centers and Institutes are research organizations affiliated with the CSUEB campus that offer non-credit instruction, information or other services to constituencies beyond the campus community, serving individuals, public organizations, and private agencies.

 

A Centers and Institutes is a formally approved interdisciplinary and/or collaborative unit that:

  1. Is organized around a scholarly, creative, research, education, and/or public service activity that combines the interests and expertise of individuals, departments or administrative units, and may draw on expertise of others external to the campus or the Academy; and
  2. May offer services to constituents beyond the campus community, e.g., individuals as well as private and public entities. While the Centers and Institutes by their nature and location serve the campus community, their focus is not exclusively internal.

All Centers and Institutes annual reports will be due no later than September 30 each year. The annual reports will be accepted between August 1 - September 30.
