Goals of the Social Science Research Laboratory
- Encourage students to consider careers in research and development (R&D).
- Develop a team of interdisciplinary research fellows who, in conjunction with efforts from our students and others, can provide R&D services for our greater business community.
- Educate, and train students how to conduct research, where local and non-local internships augment this service-learning experience.
- Encourage local entrepreneurs to invest in R&D and augment these efforts by encouraging non-local entrepreneurs to invest in R&D on Louisiana’s northern frontier.
- Assist undergraduate and graduate students with R&D background to obtain meaningful and lucrative jobs in the region first and then nationally, but always according to what they want.
- Provide basic and advanced research training to members of our community (i.e., lawyers, public officials, policy).
