QuaesitUM Undergraduate Research Journal

Current Issue Editorial Staff Guidelines FAQ Archives

QuaesitUM is the University of Memphis' academic journal for undergraduate researchers to publish their work. "Quaesitum" is a Latin term related to "seeking" or "knowing". QuaesitUM therefore shines a spotlight on what our undergraduates have "sought" and what they have learned through their seeking.
