Hey there everyone!
As I mentioned during my first blog, I am interning for the Center for Organizational Research and Design, also known as CORD. CORD support, proposes and conducts fundamental research for private, public and hybrid organizations. Some of the projects that are being worked on at the organization are part of national collaborations and have extremely critical implications on a variety of public issues that include educational outcomes, public welfare and STEM mobility and human capital.
Interestingly enough, although CORD is stationed here at ASU, it does not have a formal curriculum or a degree component, but rather a key element of its mission is to use the organization as a training site and resource source for post doctoral, graduates and undergraduates students.
This semester I am working on a Pro Bono project that is being conducted by CORD. The project is seeking to measure the social and economic impact that is provided by the services of the St. Mary's Food Bank. I can't really disclose the particularities of my contribution as I have been sworn to secrecy, but I play a very critical role in this project, so critical that if there is one mistake on my part, the implications could be disastrous!
Stay tuned, more exciting details to follow!
The project you are involved in sounds interesting. Are you looking at both negative and positive social impacts? What are some of the impacts that you are researching? Also, can you give us one hint at what your role is?
ReplyDeleteHey there Antwan! Your work does sound quite interesting, I'm doing a bit of work within CORD as well, but not as direct as it seems you currently are. It's more than understandable that you are asked to maintain secrecy, but I can't help but wonder exactly why they asked you to do so. Is there any way you could enlighten us on that? Hopefully you will still be able to at least vaguely speak about your experiences for the sake of your posts.
