HISTORY
POSTER COMPETITION
The Poster Competition is the centerpiece of the conference.
This competition acknowledges the individual students’
academic achievement, knowledge and acquired research and presentation
skills. The Poster Competition takes place on Saturday, April
18th. The competition has averaged just over 110 posters for
the last several conferences.
INFORMATION FOR JUDGES
Selection: Judges must be nominated by a CSTEP staff
member. Judges will be selected based on their academic background
and experience in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Human
Services, Technology, Physical Sciences or the Licensed Professions.
Priority will be given to faculty in the targeted fields, and
particularly those with prior experience in judging. Responsibilities:Presenters
will be divided topically into groups of up to 8 posters and
judges will be assigned in pairs to each group. Judging teams
will be sent their group’s abstracts for review prior
to the conference. At The Sagamore, the judging takes place
during a 90-minute closed session Saturday morning. Posters
are judged based on a rubric provided to all presenters and
judges prior to the conference. All judges will be
expected to attend the judges meeting held at on Friday, April
17th at 9:30p.m.
Remuneration: Judges are provided with two
(2) nights of accommodation, an honorarium of $200.00, and
meals. Unfortunately, the conference does not cover room and
meal expenses for any guest(s) you may choose to bring. If
you plan to bring along guests, we will provide a guest registration
form. The hotel will charge for guests added to rooms and
the conference will charge for guest meals. 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. Judges who are not CSTEP staff are not required to pay
the registration fee.
