The second issue of the undergraduate research journal PURSUE came out this summer. Students from three colleges and universities, including Prairie View A&M, contributed.

“Six students from Prairie View wrote five articles for Volume 1, Issue 2. We also had students from Texas A&M University-Commerce and Knox College participate,” said Assistant Professor of Biology and Co-Founder of PURSUE, Dr. Yolander Youngblood.

Students are free to write about research under the areas of psychology, sociology, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, humanities, agriculture, architecture, business, and education, to name a few. Then, their articles are peer-reviewed and selected by the journal’s editorial board to appear in PURSUE, which comes out twice a year.

“This journal, which is housed right here at PVAMU, is important because it serves as a venue for students to submit their research promptly,” said Youngblood. “My colleague, Dr. Audie Thompson, and I developed the idea out of a need for students to see their work published because these publications make our students more competitive for graduate and professional schools.”

Undergraduate students can submit articles for the fall 2018 issue of PURSUE at pvamu.edu/pursue.
