UW digital initiative

This Web site showcases the online multimedia collections built by the University of Wyoming's Digital Initiative. The Initiative is a partnership of the UW American Heritage Center and University Libraries and emphasizes the collections and technological strengths of both partners.

Since 2002 the Initiative has collaborated to build digital collections of scholarly and general interest with other partners from across campus, the state of Wyoming, and the region. The Initiative is a member of the Collaborative Digitization Program and is a member of several CDP working groups to establish best practices and projects, including Western Trails, the Rocky Mountain Online Archive (RMOA), and Sound Model. Other Initiative projects include establishing the Wyoming Memory Portal, a gateway to Wyoming’s primary resources; and a collaborative digitization project with the Rocky Mountain Herbarium.

Undergraduate Research Day 2008

Undergraduate students were invited to participate in the Ninth Annual Wyoming Undergraduate Research Day which took place on the University of Wyoming campus, Saturday, April 26, 2008. Wyoming’s celebration of undergraduate research was open to all students who have completed an independent research or creative project in any discipline at Wyoming community colleges, UW/Casper College and the University of Wyoming. Last year around 230 students presented their research, and this year we anticipated an even richer display of undergraduate curiosity and creativity. Abstracts of all presentations have been published, and the day concluded with a dinner honoring the presenters and their families.

Concurrent oral presentations were held in the Classroom Building. Poster presentations took place in the Family Room of the Wyoming Union from 4:30 to 6:30 PM.

The University of Wyoming and Wyoming’s community colleges provide many opportunities for undergraduates to participate in independent research projects across many disciplines. The purpose of Undergraduate Research Day is to recognize and to celebrate the accomplishments of undergraduate student researchers. The topics included research in the areas of agriculture, business, education, engineering, health sciences, biological and physical sciences, mathematical sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities.

Each oral presentation was 15 minutes long followed by a five-minute question/answer session.

The presentations are now avilable for your review.
