Celebration of Research 2020
Welcome to our 2020 Celebration of Research virtual event page!
We鈥檙e in the midst of a unique and challenging period here at 91猎奇鈥攊ndeed, with our
entire nation and global community. But although we鈥檝e had to cancel or postpone many
in-person events鈥攊ncluding our annual Celebration of Research鈥攚e were determined to
carry on and develop an alternative method for recognizing and honoring our student
and faculty researchers. Voil脿鈥攖he virtual event web page you are now visiting.
91猎奇鈥檚 Celebration of Research salutes the great research work of both our faculty
members and our students; in particular, we see how our faculty efforts in research, scholarship
and creative activities (RSCA) directly support the success of our students. Through
those RSCA endeavors, our students stay engaged in their classes, gain important hands-on
experiences for their careers and are better prepared to pursue a degree of higher
education.
Through this virtual event website, we can all take great pride in our faculty research
successes and honorthe achievements of this year鈥檚 two , Kim Blisniuk and Yue 鈥淲ilson鈥� Yuan, and the 12 CSU Statewide Student Research Competition
entrants. These, as well as the 90+ Undergraduate Research Grant participating students,
can all be celebrated while you learn about their fascinating work and projects.
Finally, three creative activities are also showcased, and I would invite you to learn
more about them: spatial arts lecturer Yvonne Escalante鈥檚 exceptional work in developing
an on campus; Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Yoon Chung Han鈥檚 ; and the Threepenny Opera performances. All of these projects are just amazing!
We have a world-class faculty and student body eager to innovate and place their stamp
on the world and do great things. So while we鈥檙e all sheltering-in-place, let鈥檚 take
some time to celebrate some of the fantastic research, scholarship and creative activity
our faculty and students are involved in year round. Enjoy, and congratulations to
all of our honorees!
