Publish your work online!

Check out Student Pulse, an online academic student journal! They are looking for good work from undergrads, graduate students, and recent graduates. Let me know if you get something published and I'll feature the link here.

More info on Student Pulse:

Philosophy

We believe that students have valuable ideas about the world around us. Unfortunately, most students only get to share their best ideas—the ones they write about every day in academic essays and research papers—with their Professors, and occasionally their peers.

At Student Pulse, we change that dynamic by giving students another avenue to share their work. At the same time, Student Pulse is not just an online blog...

All articles are carefully reviewed, placing a high value on the use of references and the quality of work cited. Work that does not meet our high standards is respectfully turned away, with recommendations for improvement.

Publishing

Are you interested in having your academic work published? We want to publish your work if you:

Express new and interesting ideas in your writing;
Carefully and meticulously reference other high-quality sources;
Consistently use proper grammar and stylistic conventions, and;
Strive to produce the best writing and research you are able to!

Happy Writing!

Working adult students, on my mind...

I hope this blog will be helpful to friends and others involved in a variety of endeavors. However, I created the blog with students in mind and continue to develop it with that specific group as my focus.

I believe that with the increase in evening, weekend, and low-residency programs, students are working more and more in isolation. If we were all full-time students on campus, we would have the informal support that comes with being able to go down the hall and talk with a colleague, etc. But instead, we are working late nights and weekends at home in front of the laptop.

With that in mind, I hope the encouragement lounge provides brief moments of respite and energizing connection. This does not at all replace valuable face-to-face contact. Many aspects of the academic journey can only be addressed via in-depth conversations with colleagues and teachers. And I would always rather sit down and talk with someone than to communicate online. Nonetheless, my aim is to give you one more channel for quick hits of support.
