We are still seeking volunteer support for our 2025 Annual UMBC McNair and Undergraduate Research Conference!! This is a national conference for undergraduate researchers to present their work, and our highlight is the variety of opportunities for students to connect with each other and our volunteer community.

Our conference will take place on campus on 9/18 (Thurs) and at Inner Harbor Sheraton on 9/19 and 9/20 (Fri and Sat). We would love to have faculty, staff, UMBC or McNair alumni, or current graduate students as part of our volunteers! Some roles you may sign up for include:

• Poster Evaluators (Thurs only): Join us during the respective poster presentation session and engage with poster presenters, then fill out a presentation evaluation form that will go directly to the student to improve their presentation skills!
• Oral Presentation Moderators (Fri and Sat): Assist us in keeping the flow of oral presentations by introducing presenters, keeping time, and then facilitating the Q&A sessions within the breakout room
• Networking Facilitators (Sat only): Join us for Networking Breakfast or Lunch and have meaningful conversations with current undergraduate students aiming for graduate studies - share your knowledge and wisdoms to students with aspirations like your younger self!

Please contact Ting Huang, McNair program coordinator, with any questions.
