Doris S. Perpall Speaking Competition - Final Round

On SURF Seminar Day over 240 undergraduates presented their summer research projects in parallel sessions. The session chairs and judges identified the best speaker in each session, and these students advanced to the semifinal round. The eight students presenting on January 10 were selected from the semifinals, thus bringing us to the final round.

Each student will have a total presentation time of 18 minutes, including three minutes for questions and discussion. The prizes are awarded for presentation skill. The first place winner will receive $1000; second, $600; and third, $400.

The final round of the Perpall Competition will take place on January 10 between 2:00 – 5:00pm in Beckman Institute Auditorium.
