NEW THIS YEAR, each session high scorer is eligible to compete for overall honors. Each session’s high scorer will be given the opportunity to present a three minute elevator pitch highlighting your research to an audience of Faculty, Staff, Alumni and fellow students. This abbreviated oral presentation is designed to measure how well you can communicate your research to the general public and a broad audience. More information will be posted on Moodle in the coming days. Monetary prizes will be awarded to the top three undergraduate and graduate presentations. Presenters must be present to be eligible for overall honors.
Awards for Best Presentation in each session and the Overall winners will be announced during the Research & Excellence Awards Ceremony! This event will also feature Clarkson Distinction in Faculty Awards along with fiscal year 2023 Million Dollar Club inductees and Patent Recipients.
Faculty, we hope that you will also attend to support our students and their research. Please consider assisting by serving as judges on event day. If you are interested in judging, please sign up here: RAPS Judging Spreadsheet.
