Testimonial from Author “The WURJHNS provides an extremely valuable resource for undergrad students. We were exposed to the submission process for publication, as well as the review process, revisions, and responding to reviewers. This experience has not only helped my work as a graduate student but also strengthened my curriculum vitae and scholarship application.” -Chantelle Nielson
