STUDENT RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS MENTORING & JUDGING
Graduate and undergraduate students from all scientific
disciplines share and defend their research in the form of
oral and poster presentations. Presenters receive constructive
feedback throughout the abstract submission and presentation
process. Presenters defend their research and compete for various awards during the conference.
Professional judges support student presentations,
providing an invaluable experience for SACNAS students to
prepare for entry into the science profession as accomplished
research presenters. This powerful professional development
opportunity is made possible by the participation of a large
contingent of mentors/judges. (Students interested in
presenting, see the
Call for Student Abstracts page for more information.)
Opportunities to support student presentations as a review or judge include:
Peer Reviewers
Graduate students are invited to participate as Peer
Reviewers during the student poster and oral
presentations. This is an excellent opportunity to act
as a mentor and interact with other students. SACNAS
student presentations are a rigorous scientific
activity; peer review and feedback serve to enhance
positive professional growth, as well as provide a
nurturing environment for all student presenters,
especially those presenting for the first time.

Oral
Presentations Judges
Graduate student oral presentation judges review
between approximately 4 – 6 student talks. Judges serve
not only to score presentations based on the review
criteria, but to offer guidance to students in their
development as presenters. As orals constitute both a
rigorous scientific activity and a mentoring
opportunity, SACNAS requests that those interested in
judging hold a terminal degree in their field.

Poster
Presentations Judges
Graduate and undergraduate student poster
presentation judges review between approximately 10 – 15
student posters over the course of the two-day poster
event. Judges serve not only to score posters based on
the review criteria, but to offer guidance to students
in their development as presenters. As posters
constitute both a rigorous scientific activity and a
mentoring opportunity, SACNAS requests that those
interested in judging hold a terminal degree in their
field. (Graduate students and others interested in
supporting poster presentations, please see Peer
Reviewers above.)

Judging Sub-Committee Chairs
The SACNAS conference and the number of student
presentations continues to grow tremendously. For this
reason, SACNAS has implemented the position of
sub-committee chair to oversee the student presentation
evaluation process for each research field.
sub-committee chairs are responsible for ensuring that
all presentations within their respective discipline
have been evaluated, scores are tallied and final
recommendations for awards are provided to the Student
Presentation Committee. Each discipline requires at
least one chair.
