Real-world and relevant undergraduate research is a cornerstone of learning at CSUSM. With hands-on research in all disciplines, our students are learning to become aware of the big questions -- both contemporary and enduring -- and are empowered to respond and contribute to finding the answers. In this video, student researchers share how they got their foot in the door (and in a lab) and how the experience of undergraduate research is invaluable and unmatched at CSUSM.

Alumni and friends of CSUSM raised their glasses while raising support at the university's annual "Taste for Student Success," a lively outdoor festival showcasing gourmet cuisine, fine wines, craft brews, and premium spirits. This year's festival, which was held Oct. 21, was sponsored by Tri-City Medical Center and benefited five student success initiatives across campus.FILMED AN EDITED BY: CSUSM Office of Communications Intern Videographer Jacqueline Catechis '18
