Community Connections
Child Study Center research takes place in communities all over Pennsylvania! View the Pennsylvania counties where CSC research is happening.
Child Study Center faculty members connect to the community in many different ways. Several faculty are members of Smart Start Centre County, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring all children 5 years of age and younger get a Smart Start to life. Others work with school districts and communities in other counties throughout the state.
Presentations, classes, and workshops are just some of the ways we give back. Here’s a list of some of our latest community events:
