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 online (hosted by CSU, San Bernardino). There is no cost associated with presentation or attendance, since the individual CSU campuses subscribe to the SSRIC.
The general schedule can be found here: Program 2021 Timetable.
STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
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.
Participants will make ZOOM presentations (with slides) of about 12-15 minutes in length. Individual and group submissions are welcome.
