The winning entries in the Image of Research, a competition sponsored by UIC’s Graduate College and the University Library, will be displayed in the Daley Library May 2 – 30.
The Image of Research is an opportunity for a graduate student to create an image with aesthetic appeal that expresses his or her research. Each entry includes a 100-200 word explanation of the image’s context, which may include such information as what the image is (if it is not immediately apparent) and how the image relates to the student’s work at UIC.
Seventy-one students from a wide range of academic disciplines — including anthropology, architecture, bioengineering, biomedical visualization, computer science, and microbiology/immunization — submitted entries during spring semester 2008. Images of the three top winners will be on display at the Library of the Health Sciences – Chicago and the Daley Library throughout May. In addition, nine other finalists’ work will be exhibited on the first floor of the Daley Library.
