Cal Poly Pomona Student RSCA Conference

March 7, 2026

The Cal Poly Pomona Student Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities Conference (CPP Student RSCA Conference) is an annual event that provides an opportunity for our undergraduate and graduate students to share their original research, scholarly and creative activities. All disciplines are represented. This is an opportunity to see CPP students at their best. This year's RSCA Conference will be held on March 7, 2026. 

The conference offers three types of sessions: poster presentations, competitive oral sessions and noncompetitive oral sessions. Competitive sessions are judged, with 10 presentations being selected as RSCA awardees from the various disciplines. The winning presentations are then selected to represent Cal Poly Pomona and compete at the annual CSU Research Competition held in April.

Due to time and judge limitations, the RSCA conference can only accept up to 4 competitive presentations from one faculty mentor. The numbers for non-competitive oral presentations and poster presentations remain unlimited. We encourage all students to present, regardless whether they participate in a competitive or noncompetitive session. Presenting at the RSCA will allow students to be considered for Research Distinction.
