Brain Awareness Week Returns to UC Clermont This March

Clermont College is celebrating Brain Awareness Week in 2026, this time the week before Spring Break!

The festivities include an art contest where you can submit brain-themed art in response to these two prompts:

  1. Brain-y Bearcat: Illustrate how Bearcats use the power of their brains to succeed!   
  2. Beautiful Brain: Create an art image of the brain that illustrates its beautiful, inner workings. 

Be sure to submit your pieces through the Google Form link during the acceptance period of February 2nd through March 5th! Online voting to determine contest winners takes place March 9th through 14th. You can see all submitted entries on the display across from the Marcotte Library’s entrance.

In addition to the contest, the Marcotte Library will have brain-themed coloring and activity pages from March 9th through 13th. We’ll also have a display of brain and neuroscience related books for you to check out throughout March. Be sure to swing by to see us!

If you would like more information on Brain Awareness Week, feel free to ask the Marcotte Library or reach out to Dr. Andrea Schultz-Duncan at schulta6@ucmail.uc.edu.

Frederick A. Marcotte Library Digital Displays

Posted on by

UC Clermont Library maintains three monthly displays that pertain to timely issues; one is inside the library and two are in display cases in the Snyder and Edith Peters Jones buildings. You’ve probably seen these throughout campus and maybe even checked out materials from one. For these physical displays we lay out books, DVDs, periodicals, and QR codes relating to a particular topic. We feature all the materials available in these physical displays on our digital display website so that you can explore what is on our physical display shelves from the comfort of your home, access electronic materials, and request items from each display. Our display topics for the month of September 2024 are Appalachian and Rural Studies, US Elections, and AI.
