Alkek One Student Gallery

The Alkek One Student Gallery is located in the first floor lobby of the Alkek Library. Each fall, a call for proposals is issued and students submit ideas for creative projects to be included in the gallery installation for the following calendar year. The projects demonstrate how technology and creativity align using Alkek One resources and technologies. 

Here are descriptions of some of our past winners.
