Call for 2026 McNair & Undergrad Research Conference Volunteers!
Gain Experience in Evaluating and Moderating Research!
We are seeking volunteer support for our 2026 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 at the Lord Baltimore Hotel (20 West Baltimore St, Baltimore MD, 21201) beginning on 9/18 (Thursday) and ending on 9/20 (Saturday). We would love to have current graduate students as part of our volunteers, either as Poster Evaluators, Oral Presentation Moderators, and Networking Facilitators!
If you are willing to volunteer, please complete the 2026 Conference Volunteer Form. We are asking volunteers to give at least 3 hours of their time. If you are willing to do more, please let us know on the form.
FOR VOLUNTEERS: In addition to our Volunteer Guide, which will be released digitally (Google Drive) to our confirmed volunteers prior to the start of the conference, we will also be hosting a 1-hour "Conference Volunteer Training Session" on September 9th (Wed) from 12-1pm EST via Zoom!
