Lucerna

Lucerna is the UMKC interdisciplinary research journal produced by the Honors Program. Introduced in 2006, the journal has published the scholarship of over 150 undergraduates and accepts papers that students in all UMKC programs have written for their classes. Each submission to Lucerna is evaluated in an anonymous review process by the student staff. Papers are judged for clarity, originality, organization and argumentative qualities.
