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 the University of New Hampshire or elsewhere—or something entirely different that the editors have not envisioned. Commentaries are usually focused more on personal experience than are research articles, and may be written by students, faculty or staff at UNH. Graduates of the University are encouraged to look back on their undergraduate research experience and its place in their personal and professional lives.
What’s the most efficient way for an undergraduate to learn the research process? Jake reflects on his three undergraduate research experiences to answer that question.

How can the United States successfully reform its drug policies? Emily investigates the effects of marijuana decriminalization in Uruguay to try to find out.
