New issue of 'Discovery' student journal published
The 2007 edition of Discovery, the undergraduate research journal published by Bumpers College, is now available. Artiicles are written by students based on independent research projects conducted with a faculty mentor. Many, but not all, projects are by students in the Bumpers College Honors Program. The college encourages undergraduate research projects by awarding research grants to students. Bumpers College students also receive research and travel grants from the UA Honors College and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education. Copies of Discovery are available at no charge in Bumpers College department offices and from Agricultural Communication Services, AGRI 113, U of A, Fayetteville, AR, 72701.
