In celebration of National Poetry Month, the University Libraries Centennial Science & Engineering Library (CSEL) is hosting its annual Science Haiku Contest. All members of the UNM community are invited to participate in this creative and scientifically-inspired event.
To enter, participants must submit original haikus that focus on themes relevant to science and engineering.
