Understanding Our World by Viewing it Differently
Research leads to an innovative understanding of our world and beyond. From new ways of interpreting philosophy to the discovery of orbiting supermassive black holes. It’s the catalyst for countless patents and industry-changing startup companies. It fuels the local and national economy and can solve critical global issues. And beyond all that, research is education. Students not only absorb knowledge, but they learn how to create knowledge, which allows them to become successful, independent thinkers. And perhaps that’s the richest reward.
