Dear SHINE participants, 

We are planning to hold our first-ever SHINE student poster competition this year. Therefore, we are looking for volunteers willing to judge 2-5 student posters. The judging will take place during the normal poster times (Monday and Tuesday 5-7pm and Thursday 3:30pm - 6:30pm). Judges do not have to sign up for all three days and will decide how many posters they judge. This competition will only go forward this year if enough judges sign up, so please let the Student Representatives: Jimmy Juno ( jjuno@terpmail.umd.edu ) and Samaiyah Farid ( samaiyah.farid@cfa.harvard.edu ) know as soon as possible if you are willing to judge and how many posters you are willing to see. This student poster competitions is a suggestion directly from the students, some of who have felt that their posters often end up lost in the sea of ~200 SHINE posters. This will allow them to practice their presentation skills and will add an incentive for them to bring their best to SHINE!

See you in Saint Sauveur, QC!
