After a summer of planning and drafting, we are happy to announce the establishment of the Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review (PUR)! The PUR Editorial Board, sponsored by the University Honors College, is creating an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, undergraduate research journal that focuses on research and creative scholarship being done by students at Pitt. PUR strives to build an integrative community of undergraduate scholars to showcase the work they have done under the mentorship of Pitt faculty. 

We are currently looking for submissions in four categories: research, creative writing, visual arts, and review! Since we are still in the process of planning the timeline for our first issue, specific requirements and deadlines will be announced soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to start thinking about your potential submission and keep a lookout for more updates for us. 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Angel, PUR Editor-in-Chief at chz83@pitt.edu or Brett Say, UHC Director of Research & Creative Programs (bhs28@pitt.edu)! 

Sincerely,

The PUR Editorial Board
