We are proud to present Volume 3 of the George Washington Undergraduate Review (GWUR)! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the physical version of this volume will not be released until Fall 2020. Read the letter from the editor:
Dear Reader,
Welcome to Volume 3 of the GW Undergraduate Review (GWUR)! Our Executive and Editorial Boards worked tirelessly to create this journal, and their efforts are rewarded with the production of this truly amazing publication. First and foremost, I would like to thank the hard-working members of GWUR for making this journal happen. The members of GWUR are undergraduate students with a full course-load and are often conducting research themselves. Despite their already busy schedules, they make time to work for GWUR without monetary or credit-hour compensation. Time is a college student’s most precious commodity, and I thank the members of GWUR for their dedication. I would like to specifically recognize the irreplaceable Richard Sear, our Layout Manager, for his outstanding work on this journal.
Secondly, I would like to thank and congratulate undergraduate researchers at GW--both represented in this journal and not--for their commitment to their academic passions. I often hear undergraduate students wonder if they are capable of participating in academic research. This journal is proof that young investigators are capable not only of participating in academic research, but of producing exceptional work.
Lastly, I want to express deep gratitude to all who make time to mentor undergraduate researchers. Specifically, I would like to thank my mentors, Kate Blackmore and Colin Young, for their investment in my research and academic endeavors. Their guidance has been one of the most meaningful parts of my time at the George Washington University. Undergraduate students have the potential to do incredible research, but it takes mentors recognizing that potential and investing in it for it to come to fruition. What may be only two or three years of training to mentors is a catalyst for a career for many students.
It has been my pleasure to work with all of these people during my time as Editor-in-Chief, and I could not be more proud to have contributed to this journal. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
Sincerely,
Claire J. Houchen
President & Editor-in-Chief
