Dirt - Dickinson Research Team

The Dickinson Research Team (DiRT) is a residential community-based research program that is the first of its kind in the United States. Founded by Dickinson Collegiate Professor, Kimberly Jaussi, Ph.D., brings undergraduate research into a student residential community for the first time. At the heart of this program is the Dickinson Research Lab Space, a collaborative workspace sitting directly in the center of the Dickinson Fireplace Lounge. Today the DiRT space is filled with computers, grad assistants, and up to 45 undergraduate students doing ground breaking research on creativity, leadership and diversity. This space provides undergraduate students with a place where they can openly discuss research, learn new research skills that can be applied in academic and professional settings, and have students participate in this research.
