Ten Cal State San Bernardino graduate and undergraduate students have been named the winners of the university’s 35th annual Research Competition.
“I’m delighted to report that the competition was a tremendous success as the 45 participating CSUSB students made outstanding presentations, making it difficult for faculty and staff who volunteered to serve as judges to select CSUSB’s representatives to the CSU competition,” said Danielle White, program coordinator of the university’s Office of Student Research. “I’d like to thank the participating students, their faculty mentors as well as our judges for making this a memorable event.”
