Outstanding Research Paper Award Winners Announced

The winners are in! Forty- Seven students entered the First Annual Outstanding Research Paper Award Competition sponsored by the OCC Libraries and Student Life.  OCC Library Faculty were pleased with the response, as many of the details of submitting papers had to be revised due to the coronavirus closure of the campuses. Papers were judged on information and reasoning, the quality and variety of references, citation usage, readability, and of course, grammar and spelling! Each of the 5 physical campus library locations, AH, HL, OR, RO and SF, awarded a 1^st prize of $75.00 and a 2^nd prize of $25.00.  All of the award winners were excited and very appreciative to learn their papers were selected!
