Brenner Receives Grant for Community-based Research The University’s Center for Social Concerns awarded the 2006 Rodney F. Ganey Collaborative Community-based Research Mini Grant to Paul Brenner. The grant is given to University researchers in order to stimulate partnerships between Notre Dame and the community. Brenner, a graduate student in computer science and engineering, is using it to enhance the effectiveness of local outreach projects. Specifically, he and a team of 10 undergraduates, who have named themselves Student Engineers Reaching Out (SERO), assist the Logan Center and St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center by modifying toys so that they are more functionally suitable for children with a variety of disabilities. SERO is also helping maximize the line efficiency of a local nonprofit packaging and distribution company that employs adults with developmental disabilities.
