Judges
If you are (1) a UNO faculty or staff member, or (2) a UNO graduate student, or (3) a subject matter expert in the private sector, we'd like you to help us assess our program participants.
Judges will be asked to evaluate participants' presentations using a standardized rubric. Judges will evaluate a small subset of presentations, and the scores will be averaged to determine the winners.
If you are a faculty mentor, you cannot judge the students you mentored.
All judges will be required to attend a judging orientation (schedule TBA).
Registration to serve as a judge ends on October 22, 2021.
The Office of Research, the Graduate School, and the Earl K. Long Library host this program. InnovateUNO is sponsored, in part, by the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust.
