UAB’s undergraduate students continue to break new ground in their research and creative activities in all disciplines. This is clearly shown in the latest issue of inquiro, UAB’s undergraduate research journal. Continuing the collaboration between the UAB Honors College and the Office of Service Learning and Undergraduate Research, inquiro is student-led and operated. We are very fortunate to have incredible students on the editorial board who work tirelessly to produce the journal. This team is led by Co-Editors-in-Chief Tamanna Patel and Rishab Samant, and they are joined by eighteen other hard working undergraduate board members. Each member is crucial to the success of the journal, reviewing submissions, recruiting faculty reviewers, designing marketing materials, leading informational sessions, and so much more. They have built on the strength of the previous issue to produce a journal of exemplary research.
In addition, they have established a foundation for sustainability for the journal as it continues to evolve with new approaches to research and creative activities. The work of the journal is now two-fold, first as an online journal, and then followed by a physical printing of the edition. This return to physical printing has added new wrinkles to the work that the team has adapted to and found new skills along the way.
