Local Involvement
Marist College maintains a partnership with the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI) in Hyde Park, which exists primarily to serve as the educational arm of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Furthermore, the library, under the control of the National Archives and Records Administration, serves as the primary resource for student history majors completing capping papers. Marist also administers the library web site (www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu) and has co-sponsored several major conferences in conjunction with the presidential library and FERI. The FDR Library website, which is based on the latest digital asset management technology, has been recognized by Britannica.com as one of the best Presidential Library sites in the country.
Other major projects include the Hudson River Valley Institute (the educational arm of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area).
Marist also participates in the Institute of Ecosystem Studies, and many other projects.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or involvement:
“Hey, you dress up our town very nicely. You don’t look out the Chamber of Commerce is going to list you in their publicity with the local attractions.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Dr. Matt Hastings (John Agar)
“Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.”
—Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)
