Copley Library Undergraduate Research Awards Winners CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2024 AWARD WINNERS, AIDAN JACOBS-WALKER AND ZOE KOBS! The Copley Library Undergraduate Research Awards were established in Spring 2020 to recognize students’ exceptional research papers using library resources and services. Aidan’s paper titled “Late Summer Plankton Community Variation in Near Shore Environments” was the winner of our 400-level award ($1,000) and Zoe’s paper titled “Gift Giving: The Manifestation of Women’s Identity and Autonomy in Medieval Islam” was the winner of our 300-level award ($800). Their award winning papers will be included in our Digital USD online repository. The Copley Library Undergraduate Research Awards Committee had the difficult task of choosing winners from numerous examples of exceptional student scholarship. We appreciate all the hard work our students put into their research and writing, and value the opportunity to read the products of their work in Copley Library. Congratulations to all for a job well done!
