Pesek, Jennifer2021-09-132021-09-132021https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2660617 pagesFor 20 years the University of Oregon (“UO”) Libraries has sponsored and supervised an undergraduate research journal, and for 17 years it has sponsored undergraduate research awards. As the longtime supervisor of these two programs is retiring, this paper examines the benefits of these two programs, considers their value to the missions and goals of both the University of Oregon and the UO Libraries, and evaluates the effectiveness of their implementation. This paper will also provide recommendations for the future of the programs, as well as areas of inquiry to consider further.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USOther
