Hood’s Center for Community Research

Housed in the Sociology and Social Work Department on the third floor of Alumnae Hall, the Center for Community Research gives students the opportunity to work collaboratively with organizations and agencies in the Frederick community on research projects that meet a community need. Students from a variety of fields—primarily sociology, but also those with majors in disciplines such as law and society, social work, history, political science and environmental studies—have applied their research skills to help solve real-life problems while, at the same time, giving the Frederick community access to some of Hood’s resources.
