The Center for Adolescent Research & Development


The Mount Saint Mary College Center for Adolescent Research and Development (CARD) is a clearinghouse for research initiatives. These include the psychological, social, cultural, educational, and health-related issues endemic to contemporary adolescents and young adults.

The center assists in appropriate research-based program development for schools, agencies, and families, and hosts an annual conference each spring focused on Adolescence in the 21st Century.

CARD's third-annual conference, Adolescence in the 21st Century: Constants and Challenges, Emerging Adulthood, will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2012.

More information about CARD and its annual conference can be found on their website at http://card.msmc.edu.
