Consulting Services
CESR offers a wide range of consulting services to help advance the scholarly work of faculty, staff, and students. If you are engaged in original scholarly work, or want to get started, we are here to help! Although our consulting services are available to undergraduate and graduate students, we cannot assist with research being done solely for a class. However, if you are doing scholarly work that you plan to share or distribute beyond a class – for a thesis or capstone project, in collaboration with a professor, or through the Undergraduate Research Center – CESR consultants would be happy to support your work! We just ask that before reaching out, you discuss your goals in working with CESR with your faculty advisor.
Please contact us if you need help with any of the following tasks, or if you have any questions about our consulting services.
