CONFERENCE HISTORY
CSTEP is an academic enrichment program designed to foster students’ academic success in preparing for professional licensure or careers in the scientific, technical, or health-related fields. The conference began as a way to showcase the research and internship experiences of CSTEP students in 1992. Approximately 600 students and staff attend the conference each year from over 50 schools and colleges across the state of New York.

POSTER COMPETITION
The Poster Competition is the center piece of the conference. This competition acknowledges the individual students’ academic achievement, knowledge and acquired research and presentation skills. The Poster Competition regularly showcases student presenters on Saturday, April 14th.

SELECTION OF JUDGES
Judges will be selected based on a strong academic background and experience in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Human Services, Technology or Physical Sciences and the Licensed Professions. Priority will be given to faculty in the targeted fields, and particularly those with prior experience in judging. They will communicate with students in a group/team format, about 3 per team, and must be recommended by a CSTEP staff member.

Responsibilities: During the poster presentation, the judges must be able to ask and field questions as it relates to their area of expertise and will be required to communicate, review and evaluate approximately 10 poster presentations within a two (2) hour time period. They will also be given the opportunity to provide written comments to students. All judges will be expected to attend the judges meeting held at The Sagamore on Friday, April 13, 2012 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. Judges must be recommended by a CSTEP Staff member.

Remuneration: The conference will cover two (2) nights of accommodations, an honorarium of $200.00, and meals at The Sagamore. Unfortunately, it does not cover room and board expenses for any guest you may choose to bring. Please note, any judge who is also a CSTEP staff member will not receive an honorarium and will be responsible for their conference registration fee.

To Apply: Please submit the Nomination Form and a short biography (no longer than one page) on your education, professional background experience and indicating the category in (Human Services, Natural Sciences, Physical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences & Technology) which you would like to serve as a judge.
