CSUSB’s annual Research Week will celebrate the research and scholarly accomplishments of faculty and students across all disciplines. A highlight of the week is the 14th annual Meeting of the Minds Student Research Symposium, showcasing more than 250 oral and poster presentations, as well as art exhibits.

Several faculty members and a graduate student from the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Natural Sciences are among the initial awardees of funding from CSUSB’s new Catalytic Investment on Research and Innovation Seed (CiRIS) program. Their research has the potential to profoundly impact both the scientific community and the Inland Empire region.
