Judges needed for YSU’s History Day

YOUNGSTOWN

Youngstown State University’s History Day is recruiting judges for the Region 4 Ohio History Day competition April 6.

Ohio History Day is an academic competition for students in grades six to 12 that encourages student-driven historical research and requires students to present their findings.

The Region 4 competition will feature projects by students from Ashtabula, Geauga, Mahoning, Portage and Trumbull counties that address the 2019 theme “Triumph & Tragedy in History.”

The competition is made possible through volunteer judges who spend the day encouraging young scholars, learning from future historians, and helping their communities.

All judges must arrive at YSU by 8 a.m. April 6 for orientation and remain until evaluation sheets have been completed by about 1 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

For information or to register as a judge, visit the Region 4 website at oh-rysurc.nhd.org or contact Brianna Treleven, Ohio History Day Region 4 AmeriCorps Coordinator, at bltreleven.americorps@gmail.com or 330-941-3459.
