We cordially invite CPH faculty and staff to participate as judges for the upcoming high school research poster session at the CCTS conference.

As a judge, you will have the opportunity to work as a team with fellow judges to interact with six different groups of high schoolers and their research posters (for 6 minutes each) and determine which poster stands out as the best based on a provided rubric.

Your role as a judge is crucial to the success of the poster session, and we are confident that your experience and expertise will make a significant contribution to the judging process. By assessing each poster based on its clarity, engagement, and interpretation of data, you will help us identify and recognize the brightest and most innovative minds in high school research.

If you are interested in serving as a judge, please contact Dr. Amanda Ellis at amanda.ellis@uky.edu.
