The Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS) recently held its Annual Meeting. The announcements were made for Presidential Award for the Outstanding Undergraduate Student Poster Presentation. Eligible are undergraduate students whose poster is accepted on the program and who will not have graduated by the time of the annual meeting. The award (with a prize of $100 plus a one-year membership in CAMWS) is presented at the annual business meeting.
There are two criteria for evaluation: (1) the effectiveness of the visual presentation, including the design of the poster, the originality of the treatment, the significance of the topic and conclusions, and the quality of analysis displayed; and (2) the effectiveness of the oral discussion of the topic during the specified poster session, including the clarity of presentation, demonstrated knowledge of the topic, familiarity with recent scholarship, and the ability to engage with the audience in responding to questions.
