8) Student Sustainability Summit
9) Social Science Student Symposium
The CSU SSRIC Social Science Student Symposium (S4, pronounced "ess four") is modeled on professional conferences in the social sciences. The year's symposium will be held in-person only (hosted by California State University, Channel Islands).
The S4 is a free 'student only' conference that allows CSU students to present research in a supportive environment! We invite all CSU undergraduates and graduate students, from all areas of the social sciences (broadly defined) to present their research to their peers. The atmosphere of the S4 is very relaxed, and the emphasis is on meeting and sharing with other CSU students with similar interests.
See here for more information. The submission/registration deadline is March 27.
