Call for volunteers
The Office of Academic Special Programs will conduct the 53rd annual Georgia Science and Engineering Fair April 5–7 in Stegeman Coliseum. The program showcases individual, independent research projects designed by approximately 800 middle and high school students. The participating students represent an intelligent, diverse group of potential college students whom we want to recruit to our campus.
The GSEF program needs faculty, graduate students, and technicians to volunteer to judge the individual projects, prepare exhibits about specific UGA departments, conduct departmental tours, and sponsor awards to category winners. Volunteers are welcome to help in more than one area, but judges are particularly needed.
Those interested in volunteering should contact Mary Lue Walser (542-0453; mwalser@uga.edu). More information is available on the special programs Web site (www.uga.edu/oasp).
