From building ideas to breaking new ground, research is a process.

ULIB students recently explored that journey by creating structures that reflect how knowledge develops: strong foundations, layered thinking, and room for new ideas to emerge.

The Robert F. Munn Library Scholars Award celebrates that same spirit of discovery, honoring undergraduate students whose research in the humanities and social sciences demonstrates depth, originality, and impact.

Take your research beyond the classroom and apply for the Robert. F Munn Library Scholars Award today ➡️ library.wvu.edu/initiatives/awards/student-awards -award
