ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø

The Upstate Institute fosters connections between ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø and the regional community to engage students, faculty, staff and residents through scholarly collaborations that support our Upstate region.

Our goal is to promote and advance a broad and deep understanding of the diverse cultural, social, economic and environmental resources of Upstate New York through community-based research, civic engagement and the reciprocal transfer of knowledge.

Faculty Programs

While ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø often has the feel of a small liberal arts college, we also provide the research opportunities and capabilities more typical of a larger research institution. The Upstate Institute encourages faculty to advance their own academic interests by doing research on subjects important to our region, simultaneously benefitting the community in which the university resides.

Community Partnerships
