The Office for Student Research announced the winners of the first-ever Image of Research juried competition. Winning entries and finalists can be viewed on the office’s website.
The competition offered students the opportunity to engage creatively with their research, share behind-the-scene views of their research process, or portray their scholarship in visual form. Students entered one compelling, static image of their research along with a 200-word narrative for review by a jury of local artists.
