<p id="P1">We are a student-run, non-technical research journal. Our mission is to build connections between undergraduates, graduate students, and the public, as well as among the different academic disciplines through the publication of non-technical articles in all fields of research. Our goal is to tap into the sea of student creativity and effort in all academic disciplines through a peer-edited, faculty-reviewed electronic and print publication. We hope to inspire interest in research not only in our student body here at the University of Michigan, but also to undergraduates and faculty all around the nation.</p>
