You are all cordially invited to attend our 4th annual Research Fest scheduled for Thursday, April 26th from 12:00pm-2:00pm in the MPR (SB 232). The purpose of this event is to provide our Merage doctoral students the opportunity to showcase their work and share their current research with members of the UCI community in an informal, collegial walk-around style poster session. It’s an excellent way to get a glimpse of what our Ph.D. program is all about and see what wonderful work our students have accomplished to date!
No RSVP is required. You are welcome to show up anytime between the 12:00-2:00pm timeframe, however we will make brief welcoming remarks starting at 12:30 should you wish to pick a “show up” timeslot.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks and appetizer-snacks will be served during that timeframe.

If so, there are many fascinating primary sources in the UCI Libraries Special Collections and Archives that deserve your attention in your next research project. You can even win $500 when you write a paper based on these archival collections.
Two $500 research fellowship awards are available, one for a UCI undergraduate and one for a UCI graduate student. To apply, submit a completed research paper based on extensive archival research in the UCI Libraries Special Collections and Archives’ collections before June 6, 2012. Winning papers will be published online in eScholarship.
Special Collections and Archives collects archives from many significant individuals and organizations. Some examples:
