The Research In Science and Engineering (RISE) summer research focuses on student success and retention in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Throughout the years, students from the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences have participated in the RISE symposium as members of CNAS Scholars, PERSIST Grant, Fertile Futures Program, Summer Bridge to Research, Dynamic Genome Scholars, California Alliance for Minority Participation, Riverside City College - Bridges to the Baccalaureate (RCC-B2B), and Faculty REUs.

Each summer, students are engaged in research, mentored by scientists, and involved in numerous student success activities. This symposium represents the culmination of our student's efforts. Symposium is open to the public.
