<\/a>The journal, entitled Pursuit: The Journal of Undergraduate Research at the University of Tennessee<\/em>, is the first publication of only undergraduate research at UT Knoxville, and one of a small number in the national university community.<\/p>\nPrint copies of the journal will be available during the Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement (EUR\u0113CA)<\/a> on March 24 and 25 inside the University Center. The online version will be available at http:\/\/trace.tennessee.edu\/<\/a>. Copies also can be found in the Office of Research<\/a> and the Chancellor’s Honors Program after March 25.<\/p>\n The journal aims to display UT Knoxville’s commitment to its undergraduates and provide a window for the world to see the work undergraduates are doing. The journal’s editor-in-chief, Todd Skelton, said Pursuit will only further UT Knoxville’s goal of becoming a premier research institution.<\/p>\n “It is exciting that UT Knoxville has developed partnerships, like with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, that allow undergraduates to have amazing research experiences,” said Skelton, a senior at UT Knoxville. “My hope is that more undergraduates will engage in research. I think many students do not realize research is not just something to fulfill a senior project requirement and that research opportunities are open to everyone, not just science and engineering students.”<\/p>\n The journal is the product of an undergraduate editorial board supported by the UT Office of Research and the Chancellor’s Honors Program. It will be published every spring and fall.<\/p>\n Submissions for the fall 2010 issue will be accepted from April 1 through May 31. Pursuit accepts advanced, original, research-based submissions from undergraduate students in all academic colleges at UT Knoxville. Graduates may submit their work within one year of their graduation date.<\/p>\n The journal’s launch coincides with the conclusion of the university’s first-ever Research Week, which spotlights undergraduate researchers, scholars, artists and performers with EUR\u0113CA, as well as a concert, an honors symposium, an art competition and a student paper competition.<\/p>\n
