Gumberg Library Award for Undergraduate Research

Gumberg Library is sponsoring the Gumberg Library Award for Undergraduate Research in 2013. Thanks to the financial support of donors, the award will include a $250 cash prize.


Posters accepted for Duquesne University’s 2013 Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium (URSS) will be considered for the Gumberg Library Award for Undergraduate Research. A committee of library faculty and administrators will judge relevant posters based on the posters’ intellectual merits and demonstration that the research presented meets the standard of its field.

Students can submit abstracts or find more information about the URSS at: http://www.duq.edu/research/student-research/urss.

The deadline to submit an abstract is March 13, 2013.

The Gumberg Library Award for Undergraduate Research will be announced at the end of the URSS. The winner is also expected to attend a brief ceremony at Gumberg Library’s National Library Week celebration (April 14-20, 2013).
