Overview

Every academic discipline engages in some sort of research, scholarship, or creative activity (RSCA). A mathematician uses different tools to discover new mathematics than those a dancer uses to explore and advance their art. One thing all disciplines have in common is what they do with a nearly complete RSCA project: they share it with their community. By sharing their work with their academic community, they get feedback from their peers and mentors which help them improve their work. They can take that feedback home with them to improve their RSCA-related efforts.

In higher education, academic conferences serve as venues for people to share their work. Most professional societies sponsor annual, national (or international) conferences in their discipline, and many of those offer undergraduate researchers special opportunities to share the results of their work. In addition, there are conferences designed from the ground up to showcase the work of students. Four such conferences frequented by CSUF students and faculty are described here: the Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research, the National Conference for Undergraduate Research, the CSU Student Research Competition, and the CSU Fullerton’s Student Creative Activities and Research (SCAR) Day.
