Summit 2023/2024: University of Alaska Southeast's Collection of Exceptional Academic WorksIt 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

Summit 2021/2022: University of Alaska Southeast's Collection of Exceptional WorksA Note from the Writing Specialist: For me, Summit represents pride. I’m so proud of the Writing Center tutors, who took such ownership of this project and created a remarkable collection of student work. I’m proud of the undergraduate students who submitted the work they’d put so much effort and time into. Proud that they have a place designed especially for them to showcase their writing when not many academic publications honor undergraduate work. I know how proud these students’ professors must be to see a piece of writing go from an outline to an award-winning essay. And, I am proud of the original student tutors who conceptualized and founded Summit, whose legacy endures in this journal. After the past couple of years, everyone at UAS deserves some bragging rights. We’ve all accomplished so much in such a difficult period just by continuing to put one foot in front of the other. Now is the time to pat ourselves on the back and reflect on our successes as we cautiously turn the page. The name Summit reflects the WC’s belief that writing is akin to climbing a mountain, and this journal is the peak from which writers can shout their victories and be proud of making it to the top. But it’s not only students who should claim bragging rights on a job well done; their professors can also crow from the mountaintop, for they were alongside the students as they climbed. We received many wonderful submissions for this edition of Summit, and though we were unable to publish them all, we value each student’s climb up that mountain and the professors who provided the ropes and harnesses needed to make it. As you read through this journal, take a moment to reflect on the uphill journey each student took and the people who made the ascent with them. Join me in the pride I feel for all their accomplishments, and remember that you deserve to be proud of yourself for the mountains you’ve had to climb. A special thanks to our current tutor team, whose dedication warms my heart and who help other students summit peaks every day. Jessy Goodman / Writing Specialist and Summit staff advisor

Summit 2022/2023: University of Alaska Southeast’s Collection of Exceptional Academic WorksA Note from the Writing Specialist: Last year’s edition of Summit was the first time the Writing Center released a physical copy of the journal, and we are so excited to offer you another one for 2022/2023. For Summit’s forward last year, I wrote about how proud I was of the writing tutors who put this journal together and of all the UAS students they serve. Not much has changed on that front, except that I am somehow even more proud of what these students have accomplished and what I know they are capable of going forward. Every year, they blow me away with their talent, passion, and knowledge. I’ve learned so much from all of them. Every year, they reach a new summit—and while this journal is meant to represent that high peak of academic achievement, I see our students and tutors continuing to ascend, reaching greater altitudes of success. We have a small student body, but their accomplishments will be many. I don’t have to be a psychic to know that the passion with which our students approach their interests will lead them to great things-and great impact on others. After working at UAS for more than two years now, I am beginning to have to say goodbye to students I’ve gotten close with as they prepare to move on to the next mountain to climb. I’m thankful to have this book to hold in my hands, to remember them and all the wonderful things they care about. Jessy Goodman / Writing Specialist and Summit staff advisor
