Campus Opportunities
The Institute for Social Research (ISR) supports the mission of Sacramento State by providing hands-on research opportunities for students to develop practical skills while working on real-world projects. ISR collaborates with other university centers and academic departments to foster interdisciplinary approaches in applied research. We encourage faculty interested in applied and community-based research to connect with ISR Directors to explore opportunities for research collaborations.
