UReCA, the National Collegiate Honors Council’s Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, is accepting submissions for this year’s publication!

UReCA is the NCHC’s only undergraduate journal run by and for students, and each year they look forward to reviewing and publishing the academic and creative pursuits of our peers from all over the world. While the journal is run by NCHC, they accept work from any college student, not only those participating in Honors.

This is a great opportunity for you to get your work published! The deadline for this cycle has now been extended to Thursday, September 10th, 2026.

If you are interested, please check out this link to the application:

UReCA fosters the exchange of intellectual and creative work among undergraduate students.
