Priorities:Shaw University Student Priorities
Strategic Priority One:
Shaw University Research Center
Shaw University is a growing institution with a great life science institute. Unfortuanetly, we currently do not have a research center available to faculty and staff on campus. We are proposing the idea that regardless of academic studies, students have to complete research. An actual facility on campus would be beneficial in helping students gain research experience on campus. We have the idea of opening the research facility with the goal of researching mental health issues in the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People Of Color) community. While interviewing students on campus, we found that mental health issues were very prominent within students and there are not many beneficial resources for students on campus. The research that will be conducted at the research center will be aimed at finding ways to help students cope with their mental health issues. The research that students conduct will bring publicity and funding to the university. Ultimately, the research center will be beneficial to students and the university in general.
