Challey Institute

Advancing Knowledge. Empowering Communities. Transforming Lives.

At the Sheila and Robert Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth, we are driven by one purpose: to answer big questions that shape the future of our economy, communities, and society.

Founded with a commitment to evidence-based research, student engagement, and public outreach, the Challey Institute is a hub for interdisciplinary collaboration. Our work spans regional and international economics, political science, computer science, entrepreneurship, supply chain management, and more, connecting researchers, students, and industry leaders to tackle today’s most pressing challenges.
