Information for Reviewers (Judges)

NAU-Yuma students want to engage you in thoughtful discussion about their work, their ideas, and their dreams. Your attendance at this event shows support for the hard work our students have put into their research and creative works for months, sometimes years. It also provides an invaluable learning experience for those who are presenting for the first time by giving them the opportunity to practice their communication skills and learn from the questions asked about their work.
