 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.
