Judges urgently needed for April 8 Undergraduate Exhibition

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- With the Undergraduate Exhibition just one week away, there remains a substantial need for poster judges. More than 100 additional volunteers are necessary to fully cover this year's entries. Judges play an important role in the event, providing entrants the opportunity to present and discuss their research. Faculty and graduate student volunteers are still needed in every poster category including Arts and Humanities, Engineering, Health and Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Course-based Projects (all disciplines).Poster judging will be held in Alumni Hall in the HUB-Robeson Center on April 8. Judges choose the times and area(s) of entry for judging. Each judging session spans a 90-minute period (9:30 to 11 a.m.; 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; 12:30 to 2 p.m.) in which each judge is given approximately three posters to review. Most judges find that a total of about 45 minutes is required to complete the judging. The students will be available through the 90-minute session so judging can take place at any time during that period. A judge need not stay the entire 90 minutes.Information about the Undergraduate Exhibition can be found at www.undergradresearch.psu.edu.Faculty and graduate students willing to serve as a judge should complete and submit the online Judge Volunteer Form. The Office of Undergraduate Education will confirm by email that the judge volunteer form was received successfully.Questions may be directed to Mary Beth Crowe, assistant vice president and assistant dean for undergraduate education, 814-863-1864 or mbc5@psu.edu.
