The Center for Public Policy & Social Research (CPPSR) is a Connecticut Higher Education Center of Excellence providing a wide range of informational resources, training, research and consulting services to communities, municipal and state government, and nonprofit organizations.

CPPSR provides affordable, state-of-the-art research, analysis and consulting services to enhance the quality and delivery of public and nonprofit services in Connecticut, the United States and internationally.

CPPSR also works collaboratively with government policymakers and the public, private and non-profit sectors to facilitate research-based public policy development and organize topical symposia, using nationally recognized authorities and the expert faculty of the University, to promote effective approaches to critical issues. We have extensive experience with veterans' issues, the criminal justice field, and developing efficient, cost-effective regional solutions to common problems facing municipalities.

The Governor William A. O'Neill Endowed Chair in Public Policy & Practical Politics is housed within CPPSR.

Experience

  • Central Connecticut State University

    Adjunct Professor in Political Science Department

    I designed and teach an upperclassmen political science course at Central Connecticut State University on the John F. Kennedy Presidency. The course utilizes a wide array of primary sources, including letters, declassified memoranda, photographs, audiotapes, videotapes and oral histories from the archives of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston to bring the White House years to life in the classroom. These primary sources provide a window into how critical public policy positions were developed, how crises were managed and how decisions were made by President Kennedy, behind closed doors. There is also a class field trip to the Presidential Library where students meet with archival and Library staff to learn how to conduct original research utilizing the vast resources of a Presidential Library.

    The Confucius Institute at CCSU is the first and only in Connecticut. It is operated in collaboration with CCSU’s sister university Shandong Normal University in Jinan, Shandong Province.

    The Confucius Institute at CCSU works to bring the U.S. and Connecticut closer to China. We offer Chinese language classes; organize lectures, talks, exhibitions, concerts and many other China related educational and cultural activities. Each year we provide opportunities for Connecticut high school and college students and faculty to travel and study in China. We work closely with local communities on a range of different programs, bringing the people of China and Connecticut closer together.

    The Confucius Institute also hosts an extensive book collection, spanning over Chinese history, philosophy, linguistics, art and literature.
