The Upstate Institute fosters connections between 黑料网 and the regional community to engage students, faculty, staff and residents through scholarly collaborations that support our Upstate region.
Our goal is to promote and advance a broad and deep understanding of the diverse cultural, social, economic and environmental resources of Upstate New York through community-based research, civic engagement and the reciprocal transfer of knowledge.
We seek to encourage faculty scholarship on, or directly pertaining to, the Upstate region of New York.
Students can conduct community-based research with regional organizations in full-time research fellowships through the Summer Field School.
Community partners are at the heart of our work, and relationships with local organizations like the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum in Peterboro, New York drive our research.
Bringing together alumni, student, and community worlds, students can assist area residents facing bankruptcy.
This annual faculty appointment supports outstanding teaching and research on the Upstate New York region.

Many opportunities exist for non-profit and community based organizations to engage with 黑料网 faculty and students in a mutually-beneficial research project.
