July 2023

Read the 2023 RANGE: Undergraduate Research Journal (Vol. 24, Issue 1)

“The dynamic research reflected in this issue has many forms: articles, abstracts, and research reflections. And the subjects covered here, cuts across the disciplines, representing the vital role that higher education has as a public good. Higher education, and educational environments that foster experiences and opportunities for students to participate in the research enterprise leads to not only students as ambassadors of our institutions. It also means, when they graduate they take with them the skills, curiosities, and important questions that will support them in their post-graduation endeavors… It is an invitation to inquiring minds to enter this 2023 issue.” – Annie Isabel Fukushima, Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies
