Adventus Americas in conjunction with the Northeast Regional Environmental Public Health Center and the School of Public Health, University of Massachusetts, will sponsor the Student Presentation Award Program.  Through the generosity of Adventus Americas and with matching funds from the Annual International Conference on Soils, Sediments and Water, a $1000 cash award will be given to each of three students who in the opinions of the judges have made the best poster or platform presentation at the conference.  Presentations will be judged on originality, organization of their presentation, how they communicate to the audience, their research techniques and the overall quality of the presentation.

The judges are representatives from Adventus Americas and the Conference Science Advisory Board.  Several evaluation factors have been developed by the Committee which include but are not limited to: Topic Selection/Innovation, Research and Analysis Techniques Utilized, Presentation/Poster Organization and Structure, Quality of Presentation Materials and Communication of Presentation/Poster Content. Each presentation will be ranked using a mathematical scale.  Award Recipients will be acknowledged during the planned conference luncheon event which will be held at noon on Thursday October 18, 2007.   

We are fortunate to have Adventus Americas sponsor the competition.  The Conference Directors intend to continue awarding students in the coming years for their hard work and quality presentations.  If you are a student and wish to participate in next years award, please contact Denise Leonard at dleonard@schoolph.umass.edu.  Denise will give you the details for submitting an abstract and how you can become eligible for next years award.  We hope to see you at next years conference with the winning presentation.
