New for 2008 Student Conferences
Based on the recommendations of each region’s student conference committee, the Student Paper Conference Chair(s) from each region may nominate one student (per conference) for a summer undergraduate internship at a NASA research center. Student nominations must be from students who attended and participated in the regional conference as presenters or conference organizers. Regions are encouraged to make the selection at the regional conference so that the selection may be announced at the conference awards ceremony. Specific criteria for the selection is left to the Student Paper Conference Chair in coordination with the Chief Judge for the conference. Along with the name of the student nominee, the Student Paper Conference Chair MUST include the student’s resume, the student’s paper, and a short statement of why the student was selected as that Student Paper Conference’s nominee. NASA will use internal methods to select one student intern from the submitted resumes and work directly with the student to work out details of the internship. NASA will also forward the name to the Chairman of the Student Conference Sub-Committee so that regions can be notified of the final selection.
