The Center for Scholarship and Research (CSR) encourages, supports, and celebrates faculty scholarship, research, and creative production in light of the college's vision, mission, values, and academic principles. In meeting this purpose, the CSR:

1. Provides direct services and programs to support individual and collaborative faculty research, scholarship, and creative production.
2. Facilitates and supports faculty development and interconnected initiatives in teaching and scholarship.
3. Engages with mission-oriented partners in collaborative research efforts and through provision of professional services.

In collaboration with Wheelock faculty, staff, and students, the CSR supports Wheelock faculty as they contribute to the knowledge bases of their disciplines and professions and provide professional services to its partner communities to improve the lives of children and families through scholarship.
