For many students getting direct mentorship can make all the difference in validating and motivating them to persist in their STEM journey. By serving as a mentor judge, volunteers provide constructive feedback and motivation to student research presenters, including many first-time presenters and first-generation college students. In addition to giving back to student SACNISTAs, this is a great opportunity to get exposed to new research in your field, as well as networking and recruiting talented students.
Time commitment: Approximately 2 hours during the conference October 27 to 29, 2022 in Puerto Rico.

IMPORTANT: Mentor judges are not eligible for discounted or waived conference registration
