PJAS 2010 Judges Meeting

Over 150 college faculty, college students, high school teachers, and people who work in science in business and medicine gave up their Saturday for the future scientists of Western Pennsylvania

THANK YOU, JUDGES! You help make the day a success and a memorable day for the students.

Dr. William R. Sigmund, Professor of Biology and University Coordinator, opened the meeting. Dr. Robert Smith, SRU President, welcomed and thanked the judges at the luncheon at Weisenfluh Dining Hall.

Leah Ann Williams and Ray Greco, Region IX Co-Directors, conduct the meeting.

Personal note from Dr. William R. Sigmund, University Coordinator:
Three years ago, Region IX presented me with an original PJAS medallion and a donation to the university to fund an annual award in my name. I am pleased that I will be able to present a $200. award each year to a biology major interested in teaching. At the annual Natural Sciences and Mathematics Honors Banquet, the "William R. Sigmund PJAS Award" has been presented to three deserving students, Rebecca Pike, Susan Vangavree, and Jessie Rack. This year I will be increasing the stipend to $250.
I am extremely grateful to the Region IX Committee for this wonderful recognition. I am especially honored since I know how much work the other committee members put into this meeting each year, as it is truly a group effort, and I accept this award on behalf of all of them. Thank you, Region IX Committee!
