Dr. Sutherland"Since the SSRL was founded, we have seen ULM engage through our student interns and faculty researchers in community projects that have impacted private companies, state and local government agencies and non-profits. The experience and training gained through SSRL projects compliments any degree program."
John W. Sutherlin, PhD
College of Arts and Sciences

"We encourage students to consider careers in Research and Development and, to that end, provided numerous interdisciplinary opportunities to work on projects that have the potential to positively impact our community. These projects pertain to health and the law as well as a variety of other topics."

On June 1, 2007, the University of Louisiana at Monroe created the Social Science Research Laboratory (SSRL) to reinforce and expand inter-disciplinary research efforts. As such, Drs. McGahan and Sutherlin, representing social psychology and political science respectively, identified faculty members, referred to as “research fellows,” from various disciplines who were interested in:
(a) interdisciplinary research collaboration and
(b) working with undergraduate and graduate students on applied research and development projects with the potential to positively impact our community.

By early Fall 2007, the SSRL had research fellows at ULM and elsewhere representing psychology, political science, sociology, social work, finance, and educational technology.

Further, the SSRL continues to actively cultivate relationships with faculty at Louisiana Tech University, Grambling State University and other regional universities, in an attempt to create the foundation for a research and development corridor in northern Louisiana.
