Students who walk past the check-out desk and the \u201cpopular reading\u201d display in the University of Mary Washington\u2019s Simpson Library will find a newly named nook.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quiet in the Research and Creativity Collaborative (RCC), but its mission \u2013 to highlight UMW\u2019s emphasis on scholarly endeavors and artistic success \u2013 comes through loud and clear. A touch-screen kiosk allows access to a repository of original research and student artwork adorns the walls, while hanging plants, table lamps and comfy seating paint a collaborative mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe space is beautiful,\u201d said Director of Undergraduate Research and Professor of Spanish Elizabeth Lewis, who runs the Collaborative, working to match students and faculty with the funding, connections and opportunities it takes to bring their projects to life. \u201cTo me it\u2019s a visible reminder of the UMW community\u2019s enthusiasm for these transformative experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Madison Hinton spoke of her own life-changing endeavor at an open house to d\u00e9but the space early this month. With her sketches and paintings on view, the art major recounted the six summer weeks she spent capturing the lavender fields and mountainous terrain of Aix-en-Provence in the South of France. An essay and portfolio won her a spot in the plein air painting program at the American College of the Mediterranean\u2019s Institute of American Universities, where she also studied masters like C\u00e9zanne and Monet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to see where this space goes,\u201d said Hinton, whose trip was fully funded, thanks to the Rosalie Chauncey Memorial Scholarship in Studio Art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joey Gasink and Summer Orledge presented their award-winning posters from UMW\u2019s Irene Piscopo Rogers \u201959 Summer Science Institute<\/a>, named for the late alumna whose $36 million estate gift \u2013 the largest gift in Mary Washington history \u2013 is meant to further STEM research. Gasink won first place for his exploration of climate change using snails; Orledge took second for her study of trace metal contamination in a Virginia landfill. Assistant Professor Tyler Frankel guided the earth and environmental sciences majors, both seniors, throughout their research.<\/p>\n

\u201cFaculty and students come up with the great ideas and do all the hard work,\u201d said Lewis, who\u2019s planning events like a recent new-faculty workshop to increase awareness of the Collaborative. \u201cThe RCC is just here to support them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its launch comes at a pivotal time, she said, with the University set to host a Network for Undergraduate Research in Virginia conference this fall, celebrate the 20th anniversary of Research and Creativity Day<\/a>\u00a0next spring and welcome its first Piscopo Rodgers Science Fellows<\/a> cohort in fall 2026.<\/p>\n

Lewis planned the space to support students\u2019 mentored investigations, creative inquiries and contributions to knowledge with input from faculty and staff, along with the students themselves. The RCC showcases UMW\u2019s Eagle Scholar<\/a> repository of research and creativity, holds copies of the humanities and social science journal Columns<\/em> and features a large-format poster printer, plus materials for meetings and workshops, including a projector and white board.<\/p>\n

Financial support came from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Education, Office of the Provost and Simpson Library, along with a Fund for Mary Washington Impact Grant<\/a> from the Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Collaborative is just the first step,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cI want to be here to help people get access to what they need to have success with their student projects and take them to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
