Graduate students who participated in the University Libraries’ Digital Scholarship Incubator fellowship program will discuss their work at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 20 in Andrews Hall, Bailey Library.
The incubator promotes student-led digital research and scholarship. Participating students receive a stipend to support 12-week, summer research projects, one-on-one and group consultations with a range of Nebraska faculty and staff, co-working space, hardware and software. Students also can particpate in additional professional development opportunities and cohort experiences.
