EURēCA 2017 Program link
The 21st Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement (EURēCA) took place April 17-21, 2017 in Hodges Library. Students from across the university entered their undergraduate research, senior design projects, clinical projects, and creative achievements for judging. Over 450 students presented 333 projects. 99 projects received recognition at the EURēCA Awards night.
Each undergraduate college selects and awards their top students. College awards ranged from first place to honorable mention. The top students in each area received ORE Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards for Undergraduate Research funded by the Office of Research and Engagement. These awards are presented across research areas and highlight the best of the best in undergraduate research and creative achievement on our campus. In nine categories, students were awarded 17 gold, 15 silver and 10 bronze awards. These Awards of Excellence provide prizes in the following amounts: $300 for gold awards, $200 for silver awards, and $100 for bronze awards.
Four additional university-wide awards were presented.
This was the first year of the Discovery Living and Learning Community, a partnership with the UT Libraries and Housing. Students at any level are welcome in the community, with this year’s group consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores. The LLC has a unique awards category for those students who chose to present at EURēCA. Madison Petermann, Codi Drake, Tyler Newsom, Sierra Swanson and Camron Midgette received the Discovery LLC Undergraduate Research Award certificate and prize.
The UT Chapter of Sigma Xi presented three awards to undergraduate researchers who showed professional promise in research. These awards included a one-year Associate Membership to Sigma Xi. The awards went to Jeremiah Holt in the Life Sciences category, Lauren Finney in the Physical Sciences and Engineering category, and Jessica Layton in the category of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective honor society for all academic disciplines, presented awards to three of the top EURēCA entries. Award winners were the team of Rachel Elbon and Adam Smith from the College of Architecture and Design, Tory Frankel from the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences, and Adaya Troyer from the College of Nursing.
The William Franklin Harris III Undergraduate Research Award is named for a former Vice Chancellor of Research and highlights a student for innovation and excellence in research. The winner of the William Franklin Harris III Undergraduate Award for 2017 was Louis Varriano from the College of Arts & Sciences.
