OU-Tulsa Applied Research Center Holds Open House

On February 10, the OU-Tulsa Applied Research Center held an open house. Approximately 90 individuals representing non-profit, city government and educational institutions attended the event, which was hosted by President Ken Levit. Chan M. Hellman, assistant professor of human relations and founder of the center, presented certificates of partnership to Domestic Violence Intervention Services, Tulsa C.A.R.E.S., Hospice of Green Country, Tulsa Habitat for Humanity and the OU-Tulsa College of Medicine. Representatives of these agencies spoke on the impact the partnerships have had on their agencies.

The Applied Research Center at OU-Tulsa is an interdisciplinary center designed to provide research, consulting and assessment services to social service and other agencies in Tulsa. Not only does the Center fill a badly needed void in the
Tulsa region, it provides critical research and training links for students in professional programs. Its vision is to provide Tulsa and the surrounding areas with a premier external research support to promote the effectiveness of community service agencies.
