Vol. 7 No. 1 (2025): The Journal of Student Research at Indiana University East
Welcome to the 2025 edition of the Journal of Student Research at Indiana University East. This year, the journal has seen a number of changes, not the least being the retirement of Associate Librarian Sue McFadden, who shepherded the journal during its first six years. Associate Librarian of Instruction and Outreach KT Lowe has stepped in as the managing editor.
This year marked an experiment. This past Fall, a section of HON-H303 was dedicated to producing the journal. Eight students were tasked to review submissions, issue suggested corrections and select articles for publication. The majority of what you will read in these pages is the result of their careful decisions.
