The 32nd Annual Penn State Behrend-Sigma Xi Undergraduate Student Research and Creative Accomplishment Conference invites participation as a volunteer session chair and/or a judge for oral or poster presentations.
The conference will be held in-person on April 20, 2024 at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
Note: If you will be sending research students to present at the conference, then there is an expectation that you will assist the conference by volunteering to be a session chair or judge for the conference. Having your own research students present at the conference does not preclude you from being a session chair or judge at the conference because we can assign your judging in such a way that you would not judge your own research students.
Responsibilities for available roles are described below.
Session Chair for Oral Presentations:
Session Chair of Poster Presentations:
Judge for Poster Presentations:
Interested faculty can complete the online Session Chair and Judges Registration form using the following link: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6fMsrzmC4w36kJw.
