CHIDS Team
Perfection is our goal; excellence is tolerated.
CHIDS’ core team consists of faculty, fellows and students involved in the
day-to-day operations and management of the center. The core team includes the
director, executive director and program coordinator. Our affiliate faculty, the advisory board, and Smith School staff
members provide key support for the center in various activities. The graduate
research fellows lead various areas of research. Undergraduate research
fellows provide support in the research process and sometimes lead independent
research projects. The current CHIDS core team is as follows:
