We only have 3 staff and faculty doing research, because that's the true number of people doing research. Cascadia College is primarily an education focused community college - research isn't in consideration for faculty tenure or expectations. All research is done on a grant based and volunteer time basis, to support sustainability education at our campus.

This information is provided by Stephan Classen, Assistant Director of Sustainable Practices, who works directly with other faculty completing research related to sustainability.
As there is only one department on campus doing research, as it is only one of two bachelor's programs (Our Colleges' enrollment is only around 3000 students, with less than 50 students pursuing bachelor's degrees, research is extremely limited at Cascadia - and currently limited to the Sustainable Practices department.
