The Student Research Award is given yearly to the students with best research papers and projects. Professors nominate students or students nominate themselves, and then a committee chooses one undergraduate student, one graduate student, and two honorable mentions.
Started in 2016 by the Lynn Library Staff, and formerly known as the Library Student Research Award, in 2019 the award became part of the Lynn Student Symposium and was renamed the Student Research Award.
From 2016-2018 - and then again in 2022 due to COVID - winners were celebrated at the Library's annual Published Faculty Reception (now known as the Academic and Creative Excellence Reception). Winners are now celebrated at the Lynn Student Symposium.
