The CRC Research Symposium is hosted by the Center's undergraduate research interns. The interns worked in teams with community partners, faculty, and staff affiliated with the WVU CRC to conduct action research with community-based organizations in West Virginia. The Research Symposium provides an opportunity for our community of practice to learn from the advances made by the interns and consider ways we can all contribute to building more just, equitable, and resilient communities in West Virginia and beyond.
