We need judges and volunteers Saturday April 18th between 8-1. We provide training and invite UCA Faculty, Staff, and Students to register as a judge or volunteer. It is a rewarding experience and this is a very special year as the head of National History Day, Dr. Cathy Gorn, will be flying to Arkansas to attend our contest. Arkansas has had phenomonal growth the past 4 years and more than doubled in program size and added over 25 new schools. This growth means more judges are needed as we expect close to 400 6-12th grade students on campus.
Judges will be served breakfast and recieve a voucher for lunch.
The students chosen on Saturday April 18th will represent Arkansas in June at Nationals outside DC. Register anytime here.
Even if you judged before you need to make a new account.
At the end of the day the top 400 will be down to 65, having started at about 4000 last fall. These projects represent hours of dedication on the students’ parts. Judging is VERY important. We need kind people who will celebrate everyone and make decisions that are fair and based on the rubrics and established NHD rules.
