Celebration of Research, Scholarship, & Creative Activity: Home

Hosted by Butler Libraries, the annual Celebration of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity was held on November 15 in Irwin Library's Collaborative Learning Space. This annual event recognizes and celebrates faculty and staff research, scholarship, and creative contributions.

• Skyler Walker, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences student and Editor-in-Chief for BU Well - using the Digital Commons @ Butler to distribute a student journal
