Welcome to the CESR Resource Hub!
The Center for Excellence in Scholarship and Research (CESR) is a support center for faculty, staff, and students at Minnesota State University, Mankato who are engaged in research or scholarly activity. No matter where you are with your scholarship–whether you are just dreaming up an idea or you are looking for ways to share your published work–CESR is here to help.
CESR’s Resource Hub is a growing destination for research support. Here you’ll find workshop recordings, statistical guide sheets, and other practical tools designed to help you strengthen your research skills–available anytime, anywhere. We’re building this collection continuously, so check back often for new content and updates.
Beyond the resources you'll find here, CESR offers a wide range of support services to help advance the scholarly work of faculty, staff, and students. If you are engaged in original scholarly work, or want to get started, we are here to help!
Although our services are available to undergraduate and graduate students, we cannot assist with research being done solely for a class. However, if you are doing scholarly work that you plan to share or distribute beyond a class–for a thesis or capstone project, in collaboration with a professor, or through the Undergraduate Research Center–CESR consultants would be happy to support your work! We just ask that before reaching out, you discuss your goals in working with CESR with your faculty advisor.
