STEM Transfer & Career Expo

The STEM Connections event is held every fall semester specifically for STEM students. Join the 300-plus students who attend to meet with university transfer representatives and career professionals. Additionally, connect with universities who will be recruiting students for paid summer research internships. Food and STEM swag will be provided to students who fully participate.

Summer Research Experience

If you’re a STEM major, you can sign up to participate in a summer research lab. Students can enroll in a Tier 1 research lab, which is one week long and provides a $500 stipend, or in a Tier 2 lab, which is ten weeks long and provides a $4,000 stipend. Research labs are held at RCC and at California State University, San Bernardino.
