He truly believes what drives the miracles of science is a fundamentally human intent that is at the core of what scientists seek to do—applying discovery to make the difference we hope for.

CSF/CJSF Membership Recruiting Posters

Thank you, Safiya and Horizon Charter Schools Chapter for sharing these really effective posters! Edit these PDFs or use them as inspiration for your own posters. They are now available on CSF and CJSF Chapters – Resources pages and right here:
We created the attached flyers from scratch. As they have been highly useful, professional, and eye-catching, we (chapter officers) would like to see other students have the opportunity to utilize them, as well.  We have presented these at the Student Leadership Conference (“How to Virtual”) and they were well-received with high praises from the students.
There is no resource like this on the current csf-cjsf.org website to date, and this affects a chapter’s ability to market CSF/CJSF to their school.
Please consider adding these to the main website. It would be a huge honor for our chapter. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Safiya Munif
CSF President

      Then ask the nominees to provide the necessary documentation
      for the nomination form.
      Give them a deadline at least several weeks before the award nomination period closes so that you are not rushed.
    3. Prepare nomination materials.
      You will need to write a letter for your nominee(s). Think about what you will say about each candidate. (See https://csf-cjsf.org/csf-awards/ ELIGIBILITY tab for details)
