The measure of a university is more than the sum of its buildings, the size of its enrollment, its array of degrees, its number of graduates, or its cumulative grade point average. It is instead the qualities of the students, faculty, and staff who comprise its community.

To these ends, Dr. James Kitchen, Vice President for Student Affairs, along with Student Life and Leadership, announces the 26th annual Vice Presidential Student Service Awards. Under the theme of “Quest for the Best,” these awards seek to recognize outstanding student leaders who have typified and promoted this broader mission of the university.

The application is open for the upcoming 2012 NSF/MESA Summer Team Internship program.

This is a unique paid internship that incorporates a team component into the student internship experience. Hired student interns work on projects in engineering and science firms or for faculty. Summer internships occurred between May through August of 2012, at a minimum of 100 hours. In some cases, employers and/or faculty may extend internships or create other internship opportunities for students (beyond summer 2012).

The Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair is non-profit that helps inspire and educate 7th through 12th graders — and it’s run completely by volunteers.

Please support your fellow students of San Diego, and sign up online to be a volunteer! Help make this year’s fair the best ever!

The symposium is designed to provide professional insight to students on how women leaders in their industry navigatged their way to successful and powerful careers.

It will be an opportunity for students to learn about leadership from the inside out. All of our panelists are from STEM-related industries. Our Moderator is Rebecca Smith, Vice President, San Diego Workforce Partnership and our panelists are shown below:

SDSU was cited by the Chronicle of Higher Education as a Fulbright high producing campus.

Applicants must be US citizens. Juniors, seniors and graduate students are eligible, as are recent (last 3 years or so) alumni.

Each year, Fulbright sends about 1,600 students to around 140 different countries. Students may apply to teach English, or conduct study/research.

Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) provides hands-on/minds-on exploration in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for 6th – 10th grade girls. Our mission is to encourage young women to pursue careers in these fields by offering interactive workshops from Architecture to Zoology

This summer SEEK (Summer Engineering Experience for Kids) is back in San Diego and Oakland, California. We are thrilled to be back on the West Coast reaching more Cali youth! SEEK is a 3 week engineering summer camp program for 3-5 grade students where students learn engineering concepts and science and math skills through fun, hands-on projects and competitions. The students are taught by collegiate mentors (preferably in STEM majors, but not required).
