What is the “Meeting of the Minds”
The "Meeting of the Minds" Student Research Symposium is a campus-wide annual event where CSUSB graduate and undergraduate students have the opportunity to showcase their research and creative activities (RSCA) through oral and poster presentations. This event is an excellent opportunity for students to refine their presentation skills while sharing their talents and knowledge with others. Participants with the best oral and poster presentations will receive an award and be recognized during the reception and award ceremony.
