Dear Dean Burgess,


The Graduate and Professional Student Council would like to invite the faculty and staff from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to be a judge at our annual Student Showcase taking place Wednesday, February 13th on the UA Mall. The Student Showcase is the largest student-run research exhibition at the University of Arizona!

Judges will need to be available from 8:30am to 12:00pm on Wednesday, February 13th. Breakfast will be available beginning at 7:45am in Student Union (room TBD) and judge's orientation will start at 8:30 am. Judging panels are composed of graduate students, faculty members, staff members, and Tucson community members. After the orientation breakfast, the judging panels will move on to the UA mall to the Showcase tents to begin judging projects. Each panel will score around nine projects. In addition to breakfast, lunch will be provided for all judges. Arrangements will be made for free parking for the off-campus judges.

This year we will have five new categories and a new judging ballot that makes the process more transparent. Additionally, we will have tent for our judges to meet under with tables and chairs specifically reserved for deliberation among groups.

1. Communication and Expression Research that involves compilation, analysis, and manipulation of data, ideas, and/or methods of sharing information. (i.e. media, citizen science, pedagogy, etc.)

2. Community, Culture, and Society Research regarding social, economic, cultural, and/or political issues. (i.e. community initiatives, language development, social justice, public policy, etc.)

3. Technology and Innovation Research producing advancements or novel techniques/methods, or entrepreneurial endeavors. May incorporate engineering of devices or utilize digital/computer technologies. (i.e. app development, software/hardware, digital humanities, innovative startups, etc.)

4. Human Health Research impacting the well-being of humans at the individual, community, and global levels. (i.e. Healthcare policy, mental health developments, medical devices, insects as a form of protein, etc.)

5. Environmental Impact Research confronting environmental issues and concerns, anywhere on the local to global spectrum. (i.e. sustainability projects, natural disasters, pollution mitigation, etc.)
