Educational Centers
CENTER FOR CHURCH AND SOCIETY
The Roanoke College Center for Church and Society aims
at bringing Christian religious and moral perspectives
particularly in their Lutheran interpretation - to bear on
contemporary challenges to church and world.To further this
goal, the Center encourages and supports interdisciplinary
studies, faculty seminars on-campus, and cross-cultural studies
off-campus, and sponsors lectures on contemporary issues as
well as continuing education programs for clergy and laity.
CENTER FOR COMMUNITY RESEARCH
The Center for Community Research assists faculty
members and students in conducting research projects in the
local community.These projects provide students with
valuable and practical first-hand experience in research
design, questionnaire construction, interviewing, computer
use, data analysis, and report writing.
In the past few years, students have conducted a statewide
survey during Virginia's 2001 campaign for Governor and a
community impact study of Roanoke College and statewide
surveys during the 2000 Virginia Senate and Presidential
Campaigns.
