Parent/Guardian Policy

The Student Research Symposia are designed as student events. Parents/guardians may be invited to portions of the event at the event organizers' discretion. These sessions will be noted on the program agenda.  

Travel support from the GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office will cover one educator and a team of students. If required by the school district, the travel funding can cover one additional chaperone (e.g., both a male and female chaperone are needed to travel with students). Additional parents/guardians who would like to accompany their student(s) are expected to arrange and purchase their own travel, food, and lodging.  

FAQ

What should I wear?

Presentation day is business casual. A GLOBE polo shirt will be provided for all student presenters. For other days, wear regular school clothing. 

Should students bring spending money?

Meals during the event will be provided to all participants. If your team is funded through GLOBE, meals during travel will be covered as well. Students are welcome to bring money for other incidentals, but it is not necessary.
