  4. Research Emphasis Week 2024

Research Emphasis Week (REW) is a long-standing tradition at La Sierra University.  Usually held the last week of May, REW has historically been a highlight of the school year -- one that showcases the best and most outstanding research, scholarship and creative activities from our undergraduates. 

The department faculty hand-pick student projects to submit for paper or poster presentation at REW.  Depending on the number of submissions, students are granted either a poster spot or presentation slot in front of their peers, professors, and other invited guests.  A committee then judges the posters and papers and awards 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
