The CSI Innovation Hub was proud to table alongside Glimpse Group during the Undergraduate Research Conference Visit Day, where 75 Staten Island high school students attended the annual event highlighting the depth and diversity of student achievement, with participants presenting original research, creative works, and performances spanning a wide range of academic disciplines. At the CIH x Glimpse Group table, they explored how emerging technologies like AR/VR are shaping the future of education and workforce development across growing industries.

Students had the opportunity to engage with immersive technology experiences, learn about real-world applications of tech beyond the classroom, and discover how innovation is transforming industries from healthcare to engineering and beyond.

A great day connecting future innovators to the possibilities of tech at the College of Staten Island.

We’re also excited to introduce our CSI student mentors supporting this cohort throughout the program:

• Mamadou Ba — Computer Science
• Alina Velianyk — Nursing
• Alana McKnee — Nursing

These mentors will help guide collaboration, leadership, and student growth as teams move from ideas to real-world solutions over the next 7 weeks.

This is just the beginning!
