EG-RSCA

Engaging Graduate Students in Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities

eg-rsca

The Engaging Graduate Students in Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities (EG-RSCA) Program provides support to CSUF graduate students to engage in faculty-led scholarly or creative projects during the summer term and fall semester.

The program, funded through the U.S. Department of Education sponsored  Investing Now to Expand Faculty Research Through Capacity Building  project, is intended to provide graduate students the opportunity to work alongside a CSUF faculty mentor and engage in hands-on original research, scholarship, and creative activity projects. Beyond supporting faculty mentoring and student participation, EG-RSCA provides workshops to develop students’ scholarly and creative presentation skills. EG-RSCA concludes the summer with a student conference, in which student researchers describe their EG-RSCA experiences and share their research/creative projects alongside their peers.
