Student research, judges sought for annual symposium

The Undergraduate Research and Poster Symposium will be Tuesday, April 12, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. in North and South Ballrooms of Purdue Memorial Union. This annual event is sponsored by the colleges of Science, Engineering, Technology and Agriculture and showcases undergraduate research.

The registration deadline for entries is Tuesday, March 22. Faculty and staff are asked to encourage students to register at the URPS Web site (use the righthand navigation link).

Organizers for the event also are looking for judges. The judging is open to faculty, staff and graduate students. You can volunteer to be a judge whether you have 30 minutes or three hours to spare during that time.

Judging assignments will be distributed prior to the event to help ease the process. Judges will not be assigned to any project on which they are listed as an advisor. To register as a judge, visit the URPS Web site (use the righthand navigation link).
