We aim to:

Bring together people from different disciplines to share their work and explore collaboration possibilities.
Foster discussion through informal mini-presentations of faculty work.
Learn about the exciting and innovative international research of our faculty.
Educate CSUSM and our surrounding community about our amazing work!
