Research Support Workshops
This workshop will be a quick introduction to all that you need to know about patenting
and licensing
innovations that come out of your research activities here at SDSU. We will discuss
what an invention is,
the difference between copyrights and patents, the process of working with the technology
transfer
office as a student and how while you are here on campus. This will be a useful workshop
for graduate
students that have ever been curious about the process of how their research findings
can be applied to
positive real-world impacts.

As graduate students, you're producing valuable research that deserves to be seen, understood, and appreciated beyond academic circles. But how can you break through? One powerful answer: social media. With over 60% of the global population using social platforms, there’s never been a better time to take your research public (Chaffey). This workshop will explore how graduate students can use social media not only to make complex ideas more accessible, but also to expand their professional networks, establish their scholarly identity, and engage in meaningful public discourse. Social media isn’t just for sharing—it’s for shaping how your research is perceived and where it goes next. “Publish or perish” doesn’t have to be the whole story. Let’s talk about how to build visibility, credibility, and community in the digital age.
