Social Science Research Center 2026

For more than a decade, the SSRC has helped CSUF students turn classroom learning into meaningful, hands-on research experience. Through internships and High-Impact Practices (HIP), students develop valuable research, communication, problem-solving, and professional skills while gaining firsthand experience in their fields of interest. These opportunities do more than strengthen a résumé—they build confidence, curiosity, and the practical experience students need to envision and pursue their futures.

Your support can help make these transformative experiences possible for more students. The Social Science Research Center (SSRC) Fund will support the internship program by enhancing student training, expanding professional development opportunities, and increasing access to meaningful research experiences for Cal State Fullerton students, preparing them for careers, graduate school, and lifelong success. When you give to the SSRC, you are investing in students as researchers, professionals, and future leaders. Give today and help more CSUF students discover what they can accomplish when they have the opportunity to learn, explore, and engage through research.
