Awards
Award information – Awards are given based on judging of poster presentations. Posters are judged by 2-4 experts who may include faculty, graduate students, and staff members.
All awardees will be given a certificate of award. Students who are currently enrolled (summer or the fall after the SPUR) are typically awarded with a prize too! Only one prize is given per poster. If there are multiple presenters of the poster, the first author awardee can divide up the prize to the other presenters if warranted.
Prizes (to current students) are processed in Aug-Sept each year after the SPUR so please be patient.
