Due to the COVID-19 situation, the CSU Student Research Competition is being held virtually this year! This annual statewide competition includes outstanding student researchers from all 23 CSU campuses who compete for awards in discipline-based categories.

Twelve HSU students were previously chosen as the 2020 Outstanding Student Researchers, following competitive review of their written summaries.
