Congrats Hornets! 🐝

Our annual Sacramento State Spring Symposium Competition was a HUGE success with over 100 students from every college on campus! 📣

Students delivered a 10 minute presentation to a panel of faculty jurors and were asked questions relating to their research. These presentations both promote academic growth and provide solutions to current and relevant issues in our society.🌷

Events like these would not be possible without the support of volunteers, faculty jurors, and student mentors. Thank you so much for your invaluable support!!! ❤️
