Cal Poly Delegates Advance to the 2023 CSU Student Research Competition

Ten research projects have been selected to represent Cal Poly at the annual California State University (CSU) system-wide competition April 28-29 hosted by San Diego State University.

The 19 Cal Poly delegates were chosen from 34 projects involving 69 undergraduate students, graduate students and recent alumni. The Academic Senate Grants Review Committee selected the 10 projects to move forward at the university’s internal competition.

“It is exciting to see how students, faculty and staff are making a difference in their disciplines and our world with their research, scholarship and creative activities,” said Jane Lehr, director of the Office of Student Research. “These were the most consistently strong presentations that I have had the opportunity to see compete in this process.”
