十大网投平台信誉排行榜 Libraries Undergraduate 研究 Award
The University Libraries support undergraduate research by ensuring the students have access to academic journals, 书, and other outside sources they need to be successful. We recognize outstanding student work through The University Libraries Undergraduate 研究 Award. Judging will prioritize and rank projects that showcase accomplished and exemplary information literacy skills.
可持续性奖
The 可持续性奖 will be presented to the student research or activity that directly addresses one or more of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Judging will prioritize and rank projects that show creative or novel approaches toward one or more goals, have the potential to raise awareness about sustainability issues or have the potential to positively impact and improve existing sustainability interventions. Applicants should include a sentence in their abstract identifying which sustainability goal is most relevant and any secondarily relevant to their project.

Penn State is committed to and accountable for advancing equity, 尊重, and belonging in all its forms, including in the research context.
