Call for Judges for the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Poster Competitions at the 2010 Joint Northeastern/Southeastern Sections Meeting of the Geological Society of America.

Are you interested in helping support the careers of young geoscientists? Then consider volunteering as a judge for the undergraduate and graduate student posters at the 2010 Joint Northeastern-Southeastern Section Meeting of the Geological Society of America.

All student poster presenters from both the Northeastern and Southeastern Sections will be considered in the competitions. The response to the call for abstracts for the meeting has been extremely positive, and we anticipate judging a large number of presentations. Your help is needed to make this a success! Judges will be assigned no more than eight posters to evaluate, and they will be provided with an evaluation form to streamline the evaluation process.

If you are interested in being a judge, please respond to one of the members of the Poster Judging Committee listed below. You can contact us anytime between now and the meeting, but the sooner you contact us the better as this will make organizing the judging more efficient.

We will contact volunteers in early 2010 after the technical program is finalized to find out which day(s) volunteers are available to judge and which discipline(s) volunteers are interested in judging.

Thanks very much for considering this request. We look forward to hearing from you.
