Share Your Research ON CAMPUS at RCC

The RCCD Student Research Conference provides a dynamic platform for Riverside City, Moreno Valley, and Norco College students to present their pioneering research to faculty, peers, family, and the wider academic community. Students deliver compelling 10-12 minute oral presentations in panels and breakout sessions, showcasing their dedication and findings across various disciplines.

The conference celebrates the scholarly prowess and commitment to excellence within the Riverside Community College District. We welcome all to join and witness these emerging academic leaders' remarkable contributions and discoveries.

ALL RCCD STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT FOR CONSIDERATION.

Submit Your Abstract to: honors@student.rcc.edu by 10/20/2023

Students will submit a 250-word abstract with an accompanying references page (adhering to academic conventions such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). This abstract can be developed from a pre-existing paper, presentation, or project created initially from an RCC class or original research produced for the conference. Individual and group submissions are welcome!

Mentor professors must also e-mail a notice of approval to Honors@student.rcc.edu indicating their support for each applicant.

If accepted, participating students will present their research on the day of the conference.
