Abstract
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the 5th edition of Summit, UAS’s undergraduate research journal. Over the years, I have seen numerous exciting student-led initiatives slowly fade away after the initial student champions graduated from UAS; that has not been the case with Summit. The passionate and dedicated UAS Writing Center tutors, along with Writing Specialist Jessy Goodman, put in the energy and hard work needed to produce a publication that continues to grow, receiving more student submissions every year. Within these pages, you will find a diverse array of research articles spanning various disciplines. From thought-provoking social analyses on blood quantum and gender identity, to scientific research on the evolutionary history and adaptations of pinnipeds, our contributors have delved into the depths of their chosen fields, seeking knowledge and understanding. I encourage you to engage with the articles, to question assumptions, and to appreciate the fresh perspectives that emerge from the minds of our undergraduate scholars. To our student authors: thank you for sharing your insights, your data, and your passion. Your work enriches our scholarly community and inspires us all. Together let’s celebrate the power of undergraduate research and its potential to reshape the world. Elise Tomlinson / UAS Library Dean
Description
Academic works from UAS undergraduate students, presented by the UAS Writing Center. We, the UAS Writing Center tutors, dedicate this journal to Rosemarie Alexander for her outstanding work at the University of Alaska Southeast over the past many years. Rosemarie’s steadfast dedication to her craft has imbued generations of students with strong skills in writing, communications, and reporting. As Rosemarie retires from UAS, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude for all her work, and her support of the Writing Center. Though she will be missed as a bright light in our University community, we wish her the very best going forward and offer our sincerest congratulations on her retirement
