We are thrilled to announce the opening of the Culturally Connected Research Hub (CCRH), generously funded by the Aztec Parents Fund, at the Latinx Resource Center. Come join us at the launch event on Wednesday, October 6th at 3 pm!
Housed in the Latinx Resource Center, but open to all SDSU students, the CCRH is an alternative, community-rooted way for SDSU undergraduate students to access, participate in, and explore research as an element of their experience at SDSU. We believe in a community-cultural wealth approach to supporting undergraduate researchers, and our goals include ensuring that students will have the opportunity to get exposed to the different methods of doing research, be able to develop academic and research skills, and find networking opportunities with a diverse group of faculty representing a wide range of disciplines and areas at SDSU.
Studies show that participation in undergraduate research opportunities is profoundly, positively impactful for students, and students who participate in research as undergraduates are more likely to graduate and to pursue graduate studies. The effects and impacts of these opportunities are even more pronounced for first-generation and students of color. We know that undergraduate research participation is part of life on SDSU’s campus, offering compelling positive impacts for students. Through the CCRH we want to offer even more opportunities to students to be involved in this critical aspect of campus cultural, and academic life, and model the ways that research can be with us, and for us, not just about us.
Our vision at the Research Hub is simple:
We aim to foster an accessible culture of humanizing, community-based undergraduate research that is culturally responsive and inviting to all students
