Central Piedmont Launches Student Research-Oriented Interdisciplinary Studies Journal
Volume I of the Central Piedmont Interdisciplinary Studies Journal, a new academic publication created to highlight student research across multiple fields, has been released. The journal began as a response to limited research‑publication opportunities for Truist Honors Scholars and has become a professional platform for undergraduate scholarship.
Why it matters
The journal gives students a chance to publish original research, engage with the peer‑review process and contribute to academic conversations happening both on campus and beyond. It reflects the college’s commitment to supporting student‑driven inquiry and interdisciplinary work.
What’s inside Volume I
The inaugural volume includes research and analysis across several areas:
- Sciences: empirical studies and natural science inquiries
- Humanities: work focused on culture, social sciences and education
- Professional insights: theoretical analysis and reviews in business
The launch was supported by an editorial board of faculty experts, including Drs. Nancy Bridier, Dan Barber, Carole Ingram, Jacquline Jaramillo, Jacqueline McCune, Shantell Strickland-Davis and Jeffrey Scaggs, Ed.S.
Dr. Deninne Pritchett, founder and editor, describes the volume as a reflection of the dedication and belief in transformative education that shaped the project.
