Summary

LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

Providing an academic avenue for undergraduate research to receive peer review and potential publication was a win-win for the administration and the student body. Building this journal required a lot of discussion and learning from professors across many departments. In the realm of social sciences research, common consensus is that undergraduates are under-represented and lack access to some of the meaningful institutions that may be provided in the realm of STEM. These principally include the prevalent system of mentorship and degree of inclusion in ongoing postgraduate projects. We hope you enjoy this edition and we look forward to what the future has in store for the Journal and the students it serves as we continue to grow together
