Work with us
CENI is a research and outreach center built on strong relationships with community-based educators and a multidisciplinary network of faculty, staff, and students. We invest in these relationships to advance educational research and support community-initiated change in educational ecosystems in the region, the Commonwealth, and around the world.
If you’d like to be a part of this exciting work, contact us at ceni@vt.edu to request an introductory meeting. We’re excited to hear your ideas, share information about current opportunities, or simply brainstorm together.
