The Edison STEM-NET Student Research Fellowship program provides funds for an undergraduate student to collaborate with a CSU STEM faculty member on a research project during the summer 2024 semester. The results of their work will be shared during this May 9, 2024, symposium.
Our Spring 2024 Edison Student Research Symposium features seven tracks. Each track is separated by discipline. The virtual event will be held using Zoom, and each student will have their own breakout room where registrants can join the Zoom meeting and choose the break-out session room they wish to join.
Be sure to download our event virtual backgrounds below!
