Center Directory

CSUN’s Centers and Institutes (C&Is) are creative and intentional spaces organized around scholarly, creative, research, education and/or public service activities that draw upon faculty and interdisciplinary expertise for the benefit of the campus and local community. 

To uphold the mission of the Institute for Community Health and Wellbeing, the ICHWB collaborates with our Center partners to help host monthly meetings for the Center Directors to discuss partnership opportunities on current or future projects. Additionally, meetings offer a place for Centers to share the latest updates on the internal happenings of their organization and connect with other Directors from different CSUN Centers.
