(Carson,
CA) – Hundreds
of students at California State University, Dominguez Hills
will present their research in a variety of disciplines during
the university’s annual Student Research Day on Thursday,
Nov. 15.
The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Loker
Student Union on campus. Presentation sessions are open to
the public.
“This day honors our students and faculty mentors
in their pursuit of outstanding research, scholarship and
creative activity,” said Laura Robles, dean of graduate
studies and research. “Student Research Day also supports
the goals of our university by continuing to encourage student
involvement in research and scholarly activity as an essential
part of their learning experience.”
Throughout the day, students representing
each of the colleges at Cal State Dominguez Hills will give
15-minute presentations
on their research before an audience and a panel of judges.
More than 100 presentations are scheduled. The top presenters
in each academic discipline will receive $100, and the judges
will select 10 presenters to go on and represent the university
at the annual California State University systemwide Student
Research Competition, which will take
place in May 2008 on the campus of CSU East Bay.
A sampling of presentation includes “Which Came First,
Residential Instability or Crime?,” which examines
crime as a leading factor in residential instability rather
than the result of instability; “Txt Msging and English

abbreviations used in text messaging on the overall writing
abilities of high school and college students; “Green
Supply Chain Management,” research into implementing
realistic environmentally friendly methods in the production

and S-crystallin in Light-adapted Octopus Retinas,” scientific
research on octopi that could have implications on humans
with visual impairments.
A full schedule of the day, including a description of each
research presentation, is available at www.csudh.edu/RF/conference.htm.
