The Nevada State Undergraduate Research Journal - Volume 3 Issue 1
(Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN), 2017) Albanese, Anita M.; Winner, Nicholas
The Nevada State Undergraduate Research Journal (NSURJ) was established in 2011 by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN). In the Fall of 2014, NSURJ published its first volume. Now, NSURJ celebrates its third year of publishing original, thesisdriven, professionally reviewed undergraduate research. NSURJ was founded to empower the undergraduate student body of Nevada and provide an outlet for their original, creative, and scholarly work. This year, we, as the Senior Editors, performed outreach towards incoming and long-time students at multiple institutions serving undergraduates in the state of Nevada. Many people with whom we spoke were excited about research and undergraduate publication; however, the journal’s youth was often apparent, with many people not being familiar with NSURJ. To combat the lack of awareness about NSURJ, the Senior Editors reached-out to UNLV to begin the process of creating a new Senior Editor position for the journal in southern Nevada. This position will soon be filled and add to the wide-reaching capabilities of NSURJ. We are ecstatic to grow the journal to be a truly statewide publication.
