Leadership Network
A community of students, alumni, and partners connected through shared learning, mentorship, and long-term collaboration — carrying engaged research into communities, organizations, and institutions across West Virginia and beyond.
A Growing Network of
Community-Engaged Leaders
The CRC Leadership Network is a community of students, alumni, and partners connected through shared learning, mentorship, and long-term collaboration. Together, they help carry engaged research into communities, organizations, and institutions across West Virginia and beyond.
The network grows through two signature programs: the Resilient Communities Internship (RCI), which places undergraduate students in community-engaged research and partnership roles, and the Community Engaged Research Fund (CERF), which supports graduate students and professionals advancing engaged research projects with community partners.
