Congratulations to the 2022 Lang Prize Winners
We were delighted to be able to celebrate this year’s Lang Prize winners in person today — despite the heat — for the first time in three years.
Now in its sixth year, the Norma J. Lang Prize for Undergraduate Information Research recognizes students who make exceptional use of library resources and services — such as primary source materials and special collections, online databases and journal articles, interlibrary loan services, or consulting with a librarian.
Through their research, this year’s winners brought fresh insights to topics ranging from psychedelic rock posters to public health, and from the adaptations of circumpolar peoples to the evolving landscape of Davis.
The Lang Prize is supported by a bequest from the late Professor Emerita of Botany Norma J. Lang, who taught at UC Davis for nearly 30 years. The prize honors Professor Lang’s devotion to her students and love of the research process.
