Creative Writing Major Jackson Schultz Attends Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Workshop in Utah



Sophomore Creative Writing and Geology dual major Jackson Schultz recently attended a three-day workshop in Bryce Canyon, Utah as part of his role as co-editor of the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (UReCA) journal, a publication associated with the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). Schultz had this to say about the workshop in Ashland University's official press release about the event:
Our team of 18 editors and three faculty advisers met in Bryce Canyon, Utah, for a three-day workshop, also referred to as the UReCA Bootcamp...The retreat is a valuable part of the UReCA experience, solidifying the team and setting up the success of the next issue. The team tent-camped, hiked and spent long hours reviewing and fine tuning UReCA to maintain momentum and improve systems such as soliciting, marketing, Web site design, selection rubrics and the editorial process.
The students next gathered at the recent national NCHC conference in Boston (November 7-11), celebrating the most recent issue of UReCA, which invites all undergraduates currently enrolled to submit work according to the journal's submission guidelines.
