Howard University Undergraduate Research Journal
Founded in 2020, Ukweli - The Howard University Undergraduate Research Journal is a biannual student-led publication with the purpose of showcasing the academic writing and research conducted by undergraduates at Howard University. Ukweli serves as a virtual learning center for the exchange of knowledge and ideas across disciplines, giving Howard University undergraduate students access to becoming published scholars, and the satisfaction and peer recognition of published scholarship as a means to prepare students for research outside of the collegiate environment.
