The Center for the Study of Brooklyn (CSB) is relaunching! After a six-year hiatus, CSB has a new director, new partners, and an updated mission: to connect and support on-campus faculty and students with off-campus partners to contribute to the public good and cultural richness of the borough of Brooklyn. Our motto is "research with an impact."
Mission
To connect and support on-campus faculty, students, departments, and programs with off-campus partners to contribute to the public good and cultural richness of the borough of Brooklyn. CSB aims to support existing work by securing funding and in-kind donations, providing visibility, and connecting additional students, faculty, and local partners. The center also aims to further strengthen partnerships with public institutions throughout the borough to enhance student learning and career opportunities and provide community benefits.
