Commentaries are short articles (around 1000 words) which can address a variety of issues relating to research, mentoring or scholarship. Topics might include a research experience, the social and political implications of a line of research, the application of an academic theory to current events, observations about academic life here at UNH or elsewhere—or something entirely different that the editors have not envisioned. Commentaries may be written by students, faculty or staff at the University of New Hampshire. Graduates of the University are encouraged to look back on their undergraduate research experience and its place in their personal and professional lives.
