Dean’s Undergraduate Research Prize
The Dean’s Undergraduate Research Prize recognizes excellence in research and creative activity. Students are nominated by professors with whom they have worked and are selected by a committee. Winning projects have come from disciplines across the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Winners receive a cash prize and are recognized at our Honors Convocation.
