2024 Library Prize for Undergraduate Research

March 11, 2024

Sent on behalf of the Charlene Conrad Liebau Library Prize committee

Dear Community,

We are pleased to announce the 2024 Charlene Conrad Liebau Library Prize for Undergraduate Research is now open for submissions. The Prize recognizes students who make significant use of UC Berkeley Library collections and resources in their scholarly work.

For Undergraduate Students
The Prize is open to UC Berkeley undergraduates from any discipline and class level, and includes cash awards ($1,200 upper division; $950 lower division) with multiple possible winners in each category. Lower division students are especially encouraged to apply; their applications will be judged separately from the upper division category.

Eligible projects must have been completed in a credit-bearing course at UC Berkeley during one of these semesters:

  • Lower division: Spring 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023, or Spring 2024
  • Upper division: Summer 2023, Fall 2023, or Spring 2024

For Instructors and GSIs
While this message goes out widely, we rely on instructors to spread the word. We would be most grateful if you could please encourage your current or former undergraduates (within the eligibility window described above) to apply. 

Application details are available on the Berkeley Library website, and applications close Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

We look forward to finding and celebrating the best undergraduate research on campus. 

Best, 

Jen Brown & Michele McKenzie
