From climate change and gun violence to mental health and school safety, the research at the Institute of Behavioral Science advances our world for the better. Our researchers inform policy, support communities, create and distribute resources, and more - all to address the biggest social challenges of our time. Meet the researchers doing this groundbreaking work, and celebrate the 50+ years of the Institute on Jan. 28!

This event will formally introduce our new building name, the Richard Jessor Building, in honor of social science pioneer, Dr. Richard Jessor. We'll also showcase all 11 of the incredible programs and centers that make IBS their home. Enjoy program talks, a mock-tail bar, catering and networking with the changemakers at our Institute!
