Center for Community Research The Center for Community Research was founded at Roanoke College in 1983 for the purpose of involving faculty and students in various research projects in the community--local, state, and national. These projects provide students with valuable and practical first-hand experience in program evaluation and survey research. Students learn skills such as research design, questionnaire construction, interviewing, computer use, data analysis, and report writing. In the past few years, students have conducted a statewide survey during Virginia's 2005 campaign for Governor, a survey for the Roanoke Valley Housing Authority, a community impact study of Roanoke College, statewide surveys during the 2000 Virginia Senate and Presidential Campaigns, and several national surveys regarding attitudes towards gun control.
