<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">The Libraries are pleased to announce the Undergraduate Research Library Fellowship, now in its tenth year. The URLF is a ten-week summer fellowship program
for undergraduates interested in investigating an original topic of their choice under the guidance of a librarian mentor. Previous projects have employed a wide range of research methods, including data collection and analysis, textual interpretation, geospatial
tools, rare book and manuscript preservation and analysis, interviews, and data visualizations. Students awarded one of the fellowships have opportunities to present their findings at a fall symposium following their project, to publish their research, and
to build on their inquiries for future work or graduate school applications. </span></p>
