The Mary Ann Bolton Undergraduate Research Award recognizes and celebrates students who have completed undergraduate research. Those who have conducted research using library materials and are approved by a UNI faculty member or mentor can qualify. Full time students from any major must have completed a credit-bearing course or faculty mentored project. Projects must also be original work completed no earlier than spring of 2021.
UNI was the first school in Iowa, and one of the first in the nation, to use synthetic cadavers - also known as syndavers - in its classrooms, and has since become a model for other institutions across the state when it comes to integrating the use of syndavers into its programs.
