Each year, the Committee for International Research holds a research symposium to showcase the international/global research and creative activities of CSUSM faculty.
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!
