Greetings Interested Judges-
Niner
Research Across the
Disciplines is a competition in which UNC-Charlotte
graduate students from all disciplines compete for CASH
AWARDS. The 8th annual forum is tentatively scheduled
for Saturday, March 15th 2008 from 9am-3pm and is
sponsored by GPSG (Graduate and Professional Student
Government). The competition allows for aspiring
scholars to present their current project or research to
an audience of their peers. The graduate students will
be able to see other presentations in both their field
of interest and related fields and compare various
styles and approaches to professional speaking. I am
writing to inform your department and students of this
opportunity. Unfortunately, GPSG does not have access
to a “graduate student list-serve” in which we can
disseminate this information so I am relying on you to
help me spread the word and encourage your graduate
students to prepare a professional presentation or
poster for this forum.
Additionally, faculty, postdoctoral fellows and
community members are needed to judge the competition.
It is important that a representative from each
discipline be available to judge the student competitors
in all areas. Please inform your departmental co-workers
of this upcoming opportunity. Sessions will last around
3 hours, depending on how many students are in each
session. The competition is an all-day event, but the
judges' time commitment will only be for 3 to 4 hours.If
you are or a colleague is interested in judging, please
contact me at
gpsgvicepresident@uncc.edu. Be sure to
include your name, email address, department, and area.
Thank
you,
