WIP was established in Fall 2024. It currently has four student directors and a board of faculty advisors. Meet the team

Starting this spring, WIP will work on a timeline of finalizing community partnerships at the beginning of each academic semester. WIP will finalize partnerships at the end of the previous semester, prior to research commencing. Research will be conducted across a three-month period, and policy recommendations will be presented to community stakeholders two weeks before the end of term.
