We write to invite you to join us at the Connecticut Academic Decathlon State Competition on Saturday, February 20th.�

Academic Decathlon is the premier academic compeittion for high school students in the country, with a rigorous curriculum in Economics, Essay, Art, Interview, Language and Literature, Math, Music, Science, Social Science, and Speech. Students will be asked to consider these topics in relation to the 2009-2010 theme, "The French Revolution."�
(Please visit www.usad.org�if you would like more information about the competition.)
We will be hosting the competition in Linsly-Chittenden Hall (63 High St, New Haven) at Yale University, and we would like to invite you to join us as judges, interviewers, and essay readers.�� This will be a great opportunity to interact with Connecticut students hailing from all parts of our state and help us celebrate academic competition as much as athletic competition is celebrated elsewhere.�
We are looking for 6 volunteers to judge essays, and about 20 volunteers to judge speeches and conduct interviews. No prior experience required, and training will be provided on site.�

Essay judges are needed in LC from 10:30am to 12:30pm.� It's going to be 20 minutes of training and one and a half hour of essay reading, followed by a complimentary lunch.

Speech/interview judges need to be at Dwight Hall from 3:15 pm to 5:15.� It'll be 20 minutes training with snacks and 1.5 hour speech/interview judging, followed by a complimentary dinner.

Interested volunteers should email� This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript �with their commitment and preference for essay, speech, or interview. Volunteers do not need to state a preference, and we would actualy appreciate that because it will give us the flexibility we need to fill all the necessary spots.� All assignments will be confirmed by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, February 18th.�

Please let either of us know if you have any questions or if you need help with organizing logisitics.�
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing all of you there!
