Everything you need to know about registering for S3
- The SDSU Student Symposium will be held on March 1 and 2, 2024.
- Registration will be open from September 19th, 2023 to January 24th, 2024!
- A registration guide is available.
- All current SDSU students engaged in research, scholarship, and creative activities with SDSU mentors are eligible to present. If you are in a joint doctoral program with an SDSU mentor, you are also eligible.
- Students may elect to make an oral presentation, a poster presentation, performance/film, or exhibit (art projects; paintings; sculptures; three dimensional display).
- Students must work with an SDSU faculty mentor before submitting an abstract. You
will be required to submit information about your mentor when you register:
- Name
- Department
- Mentor Email Address
- All entries must have an abstract written by the student and reviewed/edited by their faculty mentor. Mentors should not write the abstract, but guide the student in developing the abstract.
- Abstracts should be 350 words or fewer.
- Duplicate abstracts submitted by different authors will be automatically rejected.
- Typically research abstracts contain the following elements, you should consult with
your advisor(s)/mentor(s) prior to submission:
- Hypothesis or statement about the problem or project
- Statement of the methods (research that utilizes existing/secondary data sets is acceptable)
- Essential results or outcomes
- Conclusion or summary (initial or preliminary results/data are acceptable)
- Abstracts describing creative arts and performances are encouraged to provide a short description of the piece with a summary of the process by which you created your work. Process is how you put what you have learned and researched into your performance or artwork. For example, a sculptor could talk about media, a composer could talk about musical influences, an actor could talk about rehearsal techniques like Meisner or Viewpoints..
- Only one student can be listed as the first author; 3 additional students can be listed as co-authors. A student can be first author on only one abstract. However, there is no limit to the number of abstracts on which a student is a co-author.
- Group presentations can have as many as 4 presenters. If a group's presentation scores are high enough to receive an award, award funds will be divided equally based upon the number of participants in that group.
- Presentations, whether oral, poster, exhibit or performance/film, are organized by academic disciplines for undergraduate and graduate students.

S3 will be held in person at the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.
