What does social and behavioral science mean to you?
Our mission in CSBS is to instill a social science way of thinking about critical challenges to the social and natural world (e.g., climate change, immigration, health challenges such as obesity, income inequality).
We strive to achieve this mission through innovative teaching, cutting-edge research, and confronting these challenges in our communities so that students and faculty can address these challenges.
Help us come up with a new slogan that captures our mission
and you could win a CSBS laptop bag and a $25 gift card!
