Student Presentation Awards

All student presentations will be assessed and eligible for CERF Student Presentation Awards. Judges will be CERF 2015 attendees who have volunteered to assess student presentations within their field of expertise.

It is strongly recommended that you take the Judging Criteria into consideration as you prepare your presentations.

Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:

1. Best Undergraduate Poster Presentation
2. Best Undergraduate Oral Presentation
3. Best Graduate Poster Presentation
4. Best Graduate Oral Presentation

The awards ceremony will be held at the Close Out Party on the evening of Thursday, November 12. Judging forms with written feedback will be mailed to presenters after the conference. Contact Lora Harris for more information.
