Publishing an Undergraduate Research Journal
Andrew Buie, University of Alabama at Birmingham *
Shweta Patel, University of Alabama at Birmingham *
Inquiro, UAB’s undergraduate research journal, is an annual publication edited and produced
strictly by undergraduate students. Providing undergraduate researchers an outlet through which
to publish their findings, this session highlights the process involved in creating the journal,
including difficulties encountered in encouraging submissions, editing papers, and designing the
layout.

Elise Ottenfeld, University of Alabama at Birmingham *
The University Honors Program at UAB publishes a literary journal for honors programs and
colleges in the southern region. The goal of the presentation is to provide NCHC members with
detailed information about the logistics involved in publishing a literary journal at the college
and regional level.
Honors Students Working With Middle School Students
Raam Venkatesh, University of Alabama at Birmingham *
We will provide examples of projects conducted with seventh graders in an inner city school.
We will discuss the challenges encountered by honors students in presenting complex material at
grade-appropriate levels, the logistical issues encountered with middle school personnel, and
practical issues that college students need to think about.
Honors and National Student Exchange (NSE)
Michael K. Cundall Jr., Northwestern State University
Philip E. Krummrich, Morehead State University
This idea exchange will focus on ways NSE and honors programs can work together to foster
multicultural experiences and intellectual exploration for their students. Through its partner
institutions across the United States, its territories, and Canada, NSE can help students obtain the
“exchange” experience often required of honors students, and this makes NSE a particularly
attractive program for any campus to have. Since management of NSE is based in some honors
programs, time will be spent to show how other honors programs have taken on and worked with
this new program. Special attention will be paid to creating meaningful processes for making
exchanges work for both students and administrators. Hear from two people who have worked in
the NSE and honors for nearly 10 years.
