RCGV faculty are committed to training and mentoring the next generation. We provide numerous and varied educational and employment opportunities to undergraduates, graduate students, law students, and new investigators—including comprehensive training in the design, implementation and evaluation of cutting-edge research and programs. Students will learn state-of-the-art methodologies, current theory, and strategies for successfully implementing research into practice.

The vast majority of our projects involve students, in a variety of capacities (study conceptualization, data collection, data management and analysis, writing, publishing, and presenting).

Support of students has included presenting research at conferences together, co-authoring publications, introducing students to key leaders in the field, and much more.

MSU undergraduate students are encouraged to directly contact faculty with whom they would like to gain research experience.

If you are interested in becoming a graduate student or law student at MSU, and then joining the MSU Research Consortium on Gender-based Violence, please apply directly to MSU through either one of our graduate programs, or through the Law College. The RCGV faculty work with students from all disciplines, but the primary units within which the core faculty work are below:

If you are already a graduate student working with an RCGV Faculty Member and are looking to join the MSU Research Consortium on Gender-based Violence as a Student member, email Cris Sullivan (sulliv22@msu.edu) expressing your interest and CC your RCGV Faculty Member.
