The Office of Undergraduate Research would like to invite you to serve as a judge at the 2017 Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) to be held on Thursday, 27 April at the Illini Union. The URS is the signature event on campus for undergraduate research, showcasing the best of undergraduate research and creative inquiry at the University of Illinois. This year, we anticipate participation by over 600 students, and are requesting your participation as a judge.  

Students will be given awards in a variety of disciplinary categories. As a judge, you would be asked to identify the best research presentation, categorized both on the merit of your domain expertise, and on the student’s general presentation skills. We will do all we can to team you up with another judge to ensure interdisciplinary combinations as part of the review process. We hope you will find value in helping us foster a culture of discovery on this campus, and participating in this celebration of student innovation and excellence.

At your earliest convenience, please indicate your availability to serve as a judge using the link below. Prior to the symposium, we will both confirm your attendance and participation as a judge, and send all instructions for judging.
