*Colleagues – please see below call for faculty volunteers for the Science
Olympiad this Saturday. *



Hello there!



My name is Michael Tin, and I am a current UCR Science Ambassador as well
as Director of Change in Scientific Importance for Youth (Delta SIFY) at UC
Riverside, a student organization at UCR that promotes education and
engagement by providing immersive STEM opportunities for students in
underserved communities.



On February 17, 2024, we are hosting an in-person Science Olympiad
tournament at UC Riverside called "Highlander Invitational
<http://scioly.ucr.edu/>." Highlander Invitational is the Inland Empire's
premier STEM competition, where middle and high school students from all
over California will compete in a thrilling, full-day science tournament.



*This is UC Riverside's FIRST EVER Science Olympiad Invitational...and we
need your help!!*



As this is an entirely student-run project, we are currently looking for
volunteers to help out at the competition. We are looking for any
undergraduate students, graduate students, or professors/faculty that are
willing to help out on the day of the competition. Volunteers would be
responsible for grading tests on the day of the competition along with a
designated Event Supervisor (ES) for the event. We will be providing lunch
as well as verified volunteer hours to all Highlander Invitational
volunteers. No experience is required.



If you are interested in volunteering, please visit
scioly.ucr.edu/science-olympiad/volunteer



We sincerely appreciate every volunteer's contribution to making this event
a possibility and promoting STEM education in the Inland Empire!
