Students Rahul Arora, Alina Bykova and Amanda Khan have won this year鈥檚 Graduate Student Exhibition Competition Awards from UU直播 Libraries for research that ranged from computer graphics to laparoscopic surgery and a Russian ghost town in the Arctic.
Each received a $1,000 prize and the opportunity to create exhibits based on their work.
鈥淚t is wonderful to see the research students produce supported by the wealth of information that we have available here at the libraries,鈥 said Larry Alford, UU直播鈥檚 chief librarian, during at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.
The award recognizes those who take complex work and make it accessible to other community members, said Vice-President and Provost Cheryl Regehr.
鈥淓vents like this bring people together to connect, collaborate, and create,鈥 Regehr said.
Graduate students base their exhibits on research projects that they have completed and submit a signed letter of support from their supervisor or instructor. Among the criteria for judging submissions is the student鈥檚 ability to demonstrate effective use of library resources and services.
