Encourage students who wrote an exceptional research paper this year to consider submitting it for the Robert F. Munn Library Scholars Award.
This award is presented annually for outstanding research papers in the humanities or social sciences. Winners will be awarded $1,000 and be recognized publicly by the University and Libraries.
Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students in good academic standing who conducted original research using resources from the WVU Libraries and used this research to produce a paper that reflects individual work, not that of a group or class project, submitted anytime during the fall and spring semesters.
The deadline is Friday, June 2.
Applicants should submit: An electronic copy of their paper, a short reflective memo no more than 500 words describing how they used WVU Libraries and an abstract of no more than 100 words.
Applicants should send their paper, memo and abstract to Kelly Diamond, head of the Libraries’ Office of Curriculum and Instructional Support, at kelly.diamond@mail.wvu.edu.
