Three UT students recently returned from Dublin, Ireland, where they attended the Undergraduate Awards Global Summit and received international honors for their academic research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of the academic efforts of our three students,\u201d said Marisa Moazen, executive director for undergraduate research and community engagement in UT\u2019s Office of Research and Engagement. \u201cThe Undergraduate Awards Global Summit has been an incredible opportunity to showcase their work on an international stage and network with peers at universities worldwide.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s UA Global Summit, which drew 130 of the world\u2019s top-performing students from 52 universities and 16 countries, began with a dinner at the historic Smock Alley Theatre<\/a>, built in 1662. On the second day, more than 70 students delivered three-minute presentations summarizing their research\u2014on subjects ranging from literature to physics\u2014to an audience of their peers, UA organizers, board members, and representatives. Along with sightseeing tours and mixers, the students heard from several different speakers<\/a> on issues related to higher education, research, business, philanthropy, and other topics.<\/p>\n

Each year, the coveted UA Gold Medal named in honor of a different global scholar.<\/p>\n

This year, the medal\u2014the one Brito received\u2014was named for abolitionist Thomas Clarkson. \u201cAs a young man, Clarkson had won his first prize for an essay on slavery and then dedicated his whole life to its abolition in the British Empire, something he saw achieved by an Act of Parliament in 1833,\u201d UA Chairman Jim Barry explained. \u201cThe Undergraduate Awards has exactly that ambition\u2014that young men and women across the globe would address their academic talents to matters of significance in all fields of learning in the hope that it would spark their passion to be change makers and leaders into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Office of Undergraduate Research is now soliciting entries from students who would like to represent UT in the 2018 competition; the deadline is in May. Students who wish to compete in the Undergraduate Awards can submit up to three academic papers, research projects, or portfolios completed during the current academic year for which they have received an A or equivalent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
