welcome you to the 2019 Student Research Symposium at San Diego State University – the 12th year of this university-wide event that highlights the outstanding research and creative endeavors that distinguish SDSU. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the innovation, academic scholarship and creativity that our undergraduate and graduate students bring to their research. It is also a forum for sharing their discoveries, insights, and performances with our university family and the broader community. We are proud that over 300 students are presenting original work that emerged from academic and creative endeavors across the university. More than 65 of them will receive awards for excellence. 10 students whose WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT THE FROM WELCOME entries are judged exceptional will represent SDSU at the annual California State University Student Research Competition in May. I am proud of our phenomenal students, as well as our dedicated faculty and staff who have encouraged our student researchers and are coordinating this symposium. I am also grateful for the 200+ volunteers from our faculty and staff and the greater San Diego community who are gifting their time and expertise to evaluate the oral, poster, exhibit and performance presentations. Their dedication augments SDSU’s commitment to cutting- edge research and creative endeavors. This symposium represents the spirit of SDSU as a leading public research university and a vibrant expression of our emerging global citizens, compassionate leaders, and ethical innovators who will impact their communities and solve the world’s greatest challenges. My hope is that you will be inspired.
