Lucerna, n: a light for undergrads

Megan Henderson

Issue date: 9/17/07 Section: Culture
The UMKC Honors Program has partnered with the Miller Nichols Library for Lucerna. Levy said students can contact Diane Hunter at 235-1537 for "assistance identifying resources for their [research] topic[s]."

Papers submitted to Lucerna should be between 3,000 and 6,000 words and should be sent to umkclucerna@yahoo.com.

Submissions will be accepted until Feb. 1, 2008. More information about Lucerna can be found at http://cas.umkc.edu/honors/lucerna/. Free copies of the 2007 edition of Lucerna are available in Haag Hall 204.

"A university education is … learning the knowledge that already exists," Levy said. "But students also ultimately learn how to create new knowledge. That is [what] Lucerna seeks to publish."

Westen articulated the journal's ability to represent undergraduate students at UMKC in his editor's note in the 2007 edition.

"These few [essays] represent only a portion of light that fills our university," he said. "Let this journal be but a lantern by which you may gaze into a world of thought, curiosity and a yearning to wonder."
