Please join us for the LAURE Ceremony and Reception to recognize the achievements of this year's four undergraduate award recipients. We will hear from each student as they share their award-winning research project. A catered reception will follow. 

The Libraries' Award for Undergraduate Research Excellence (LAURE) recognizes students who demonstrate high-quality academic work and excellent library research skills. The LAURE is made possible by the Milton C. and Barbara B. Sparks Endowment and the Jon and Lisa Stine Endowment.
