2023 STEM-NET Student Summer Research Program Showcase

Congratulations to our STEM-NET Summer Student Research program recipients. STEM-NET awarded 7 students $2,500 to conduct undergraduate research for the summer 2023 term. These funds support students conducting research under the auspices of a CSU faculty member. Towards the end of their research project, they will participate in a virtual event to present their findings on Friday, September 8, 2023 at 12pm. NOTE: Two students who were awarded the Edison Student Research Fellowship in the spring 2023 semester will also be presenting with this group. Their names are Emily Camacho and Faye Yun.
