Featured Image for Spring issue of UNCG Research Magazine launches

The spring of edition of UNCG Research Magazine – our semiannual publication exploring some of the most impactful scholarship across campus – is now available in print and online.

This issue’s feature stories cover plant growth experiments on the International Space Station, the local impact of the Center for Community-Engaged Design, and a 25-year effort at UNCG to equip kids for success through sports.

Many of the articles share a common thread, as noted by Vice Chancellor Terri L. Shelton in the magazine introduction:

“The rings of ancient alpine larch trace the rise of global warming. Our responses to a 1906 earthquake and 2005 hurricane offer insight into how we will face coming natural disasters. A previous generation’s exposure to BPA dictates a medaka fish’s reproductive health. … In each story, the same lesson: to build a better future, we must understand our past.”

The media-rich website includes feature-length and shorter articles, faculty and student profiles, image galleries and more. Readers can also download PDF versions of the current and previous issues (and of individual articles) or request print copies.
