On Thursday May 3, the Outreach and Education Team of the Woodruff Library hosted an ice cream sundae bar secret study break in the Jones Room.

If you need proof that library research makes you rich, ask Hannah Coleman, Zachary Domach or Hyeok Kang, winners of the 2012 Woodruff Library Undergraduate Research Awards. Or better yet, meet them and learn about their winning research paper submissions at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the DUC from 3-6 p.m. on Wednesday April 25.
