Spring 2026, Vol. V, No. 1, Launch Party!

This past April, we celebrated the launch of the Spring 2026 edition of the Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review (Vol. V, No. 1). The event provided an opportunity for authors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and students to come together and connect with one another.

We are grateful to everyone who contributed to making this publication possible and look forward to continuing to provide a platform for undergraduate voices and academic excellence.

Congratulations to all of the student authors whose work appears in this edition, and thank you to our readers for supporting the Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review! We would also like to thank the David C. Frederick Honors College for supporting this publication. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the PUR and our second-ever launch party.
