Every year the Friends of Owen D. Young and Launders Libraries (FODYLL) awards prizes for outstanding undergraduate research. These are research projects that utilized our collections and databases in the name of completing a project-specific to Northern New York (inclusive of the Adirondacks). There are prizes for the Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Sciences.
Our competition is open to all currently enrolled undergraduate SLU students for academic work completed between June 1st, 2020 and July 31st, 2021. Projects may be traditional research papers, online projects, fiction, poetry, or multimedia works – as long as they meet the criteria for each category. Submissions must be delivered to Paul Doty, Special Collections and Archives Librarian, by August 1st (this is a writ in stone deadline!) If you had a project last summer or autumn that really showed some verve think about forwarding it to us…if you have any questions, please be in touch with Paul Doty in ODY, or at pdoty@stlawu.edu.
