Dear Undergraduate Advisor,
As an advisor to several undergraduate students at the University of Pittsburgh, you have an unique role in guiding a student's academic path and presenting them with opportunites regarding his or her studies. Several of your undergraduate advisees might be involved in rigorous independent scholarship and able to extend their scholarship one step further by considering their publication options. An option that they should strongly consider is The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review, a multidisciplinary academic journal sponsored by the Honors College which publishes original undergraduate research. The purpose of the Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review is to advance innovative undergraduate scholarship. By presenting provocative ideas such as those that might be contained in your advisees' research, the PUR catalyzes further intellectual innovations and pursuits, thereby energizing the academic community. Currently, University of Pittsburgh students are underrepresented in our submissions and previous publications. The Review believes that the contribution of your advisees' work could showcase the dynamic undergraduate community here at Pitt to the readers of the Review across the nation.
The PUR staff and I encourage you to inform your advisees about the Review and their publication opportunities. For more information, please direct them to our website at www.honorscollege.pitt.edu/~pur to learn more about our journal and the review process. Thank you for helping Pitt students discover publishing opportunities for their scholarly work.
Sincerely,
Audrey Vanim
Editor-in-Chief
The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review
Consider yourself informed, encouraged, and directed.
