Announcement: 2012 Marymount Library - Student Scholar Award

The  2nd Annual Marymount Library - Student Scholar Award acknowledges a high level of achievement in research and scholarship by undergraduate students. The Marymount Library strongly supports undergraduate research across all disciplines on campus.

The Student Scholar Award is intended to attract the very best undergraduate scholarship from courses taught in programs across our college campus. There will be two awards given annually; ideally one will be for lower-division scholarship and the other will be for upper-division scholarship.

Applications are submitted by students, who must be nominated by a faculty member, to an award committee composed of librarians and select faculty wishing to serve in this capacity. 

Award winning scholarship makes original, creative, thoughtful, and skilled use of research collections and resources including, but not limited to, print resources, databases, and materials in other media. The scholarship demonstrates information literacy competencies, evidence of significant inquiry, an understanding of the research and information-gathering process, and critical thinking.

Each award is accompanied by a monetary gift of $200, a certificate of accomplishment, an invitation to attend the Annual Scholars Celebration, and official recognition at the College’s student award ceremony in May.  The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 31, 2012.
