What is CREATE?

Center for Research, Experiential, Artistic & Transformative Education

CREATE is the home for student research at Austin College. Located in the Wright Campus Center, Room 204, CREATE helps administer opportunities for Undergraduate Research (UR) for the students of Austin College. There are several different ways for you to get involved with research: via the classroom or independently, with group or  individual research projects. Each project will have a mentoring faculty member to guide you through the process. CREATE will have opportunities throughout the year for you to show your work and share your knowledge.
