We are very proud to introduce The Journal of Student Research in Environmental Science at Appalachian, a collection of non-peer-reviewed articles submitted by students of the Environmental Science Program at Appalachian State University. As part of their "capstone" experience, each Environmental Science major learns to professionally disseminate their active learning project – the required research, outreach/education, or internship experience - by presenting their work to peers and faculty at the completion of the ENV 4100 Environmental Science Seminar course. Instructors and faculty assess the student's presentation and provide feedback on content, organization, methods, analysis, and conclusions, as well as presentation delivery and elocution. After revision from the presentation feedback, their work is submitted for publication in this journal – manuscripts scoring a grade of 'B' or higher and that adhere to the provided template and submission process are published in this journal. The Journal of Student Research in Environmental Science at Appalachian therefore represents an artifact in support of learning and programmatic assessment and continuous improvement.
