A Big Red Undergraduate Journal

Cornell now has a digital and print publication dedicated to reporting the findings and research accomplishments of Cornell’s enterprising undergraduate students: the inaugural issue of the Cornell Undergraduate Research Journal appeared this spring, according to a Cornell Research article.

"Research is a large part of the undergraduate experience at Cornell,” Victoria Alkin ’23, founder and editor-in-chief of CURJ, a biological sciences major in the College of Arts and Sciences, says in the article. “Students across all majors and disciplines partake in research of many different forms. I noticed in my sophomore year that although many undergraduate researchers write some kind of paper or senior thesis as part of their research experience, very few end up getting published in an established, peer-reviewed journal. I wanted there to be a way for students to share their research with the Cornell community and the research community at large.”
