Rising Stars

The San Diego State University Rising Stars Lecture Series is supported by the Vice President for Research and Innovation and various colleges.

The program seeks to recognize nationally renowned early-career faculty by inviting them to campus to share their cutting-edge research and career development strategies with the SDSU community over the course of a 2-day visit. This program provides a speaker honorarium and covers all travel expenses.

Contact Research Advancement if you would like to nominate someone as a Rising Star or learn more about the series.
