QUEST, the undergraduate research journal of Queens University of Charlotte, is receiving submissions from all disciplines for its 10th volume. 

 

Let your voice be heard beyond the classroom. QUEST is a way for undergraduate students to amplify their voices—not only as consumers of knowledge, but also as meaning makers who contribute to how we understand and shape our world.  
 

The questions you asked. The ideas you developed. The work you are proud of.   
 

QUEST recognizes the time, effort, and diligence behind that work and takes it seriously. With QUEST, you will gain real-world experience, receive meaningful feedback, and connect with student editors throughout the process. Your research will have an opportunity to be shared, preserved, and recognized while you build your academic portfolio   
 

Are you ready for your Quest?
