EVENT SERIESEvent Instances
Event Details
Discover how University Libraries helps Cardinals turn curiosity into research, research into opportunity, and undergraduate experiences into a foundation for future success. Join us for Research is in the Cards, a Homecoming celebration inviting alumni, donors, and members of the UofL community to experience the impact of undergraduate research and see how the Libraries support students in the classroom and beyond.
Throughout the afternoon, guests will have the opportunity to engage with students and learn about their research experiences through the inaugural Engineering Scholars cohort, a collaborative initiative between University Libraries and the J.B. Speed School of Engineering made possible by generous support from Women in Philanthropy. The program equips engineering students with leadership, communication, and networking skills and helps them articulate the significance of their research, contributions, and experiences as they prepare for future academic and professional opportunities. The celebration will culminate in a student Research Showcase highlighting the impact of undergraduate research and the many ways the Libraries help students succeed.
Guests can also experience Play Your Cards Right: Developing Award-Winning Undergraduate Research, an interactive workshop that introduces students to the research process, from asking questions and designing studies to communicating findings. The workshop will highlight how students can use library resources to strengthen their research and prepare competitive applications for the donor-funded $1,000 Undergraduate Research Award offered in the spring semester.
Come celebrate the accomplishments of UofL’s undergraduate researchers and see firsthand how University Libraries provides the resources, mentorship, and opportunities that help Cardinals become confident researchers, communicators, and future leaders.
